Patagonia Expedition Weight Glove Liners
The Patagonia Expedition Weight Glove Liners are like plush thermal underwear for your hands. Write that down. These liners offer superb warmth with the moisture wicking, quick drying properties of Capilene fleece. To keep your digits moving smoothly, Patagonia mixes in stretchy, form fitting Spandex. Feel like you're wearing nothing at all. Wear the liner with your mittens or gloves for extreme protection from extrme elements. A ribbed cuff for arm closure and minimal finger bulk fit well inside your shells. Having a liner lets you take your gloves off to perform precise tasks in the frigid cold, like getting your PB&J out of the bottom your pack, while still protecting your hands.

My Hands Still Froze
I bought these liners to use underneath my winter leather motorcycle gloves. For stop and go use in 30 degree weather they performed well. When I got on the highway and got up to cruising speed it didn't take long for my hands to get numb. I'm not saying they are not good but they just didnt keep my hands as warm as I would have liked. I don't know that anything out there can do the job when your riding your motorcycle in freezing weather.
runs large
I have pretty large hands for a female (generally don't find women's gloves that fit), but the large in these gloves were too big - I had to return them. Might want to order smaller than your usual size.

Training Tips
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
