Kokatat Gore-Tex Paclite Pullover - Unisex
The Paclite Pullover is the perfect shell for kayakers who want the waterproof, breathable comfort of Gore-Tex but don't need the technicality of an expedition-level jacket. This touring pullover is extremely light and ultra-packable. It comes equipped with splash closures geared for more moderate paddling scenarios and patterning that provides a more relaxed fit than Kokatat's more technical gear. The storm hood has great peripheral vision, and easily folds away when not in use. A zippered sleeve pocket with key lanyard ensures you'll never be stuck calling a locksmith from the pull-out.
$214.95 
a good purchase
I purchased the Paclite Pullover as a top layer. I have used it on days that were 30F, with fleece long underwear underneath, and I have used it on a 55F day with a light top underneath. It is comfortable, lightweight, easy to move in, and seems to cut the wind. Water rolls right off. The hood, should you need it on a rainy windy day, is a plus. It has an extension almost like a visor to keep the rain out of your eyes.

Training Tips
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
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.
