Lotus Stretch Paddling Pants
The Lotus Stretch Paddling Pants keep that sloshing water in the bilge and not soaked into your insulating layers. The result: A drier, warmer, happier paddler. (This proves that money CAN buy happiness.) If you've ever used inferior nylon paddling pants you will immediately appreciate the comfort of stretch fabric in the seat. The 3-layer nylon stretch fabric is waterproof but super breathable so you won't get clammy when exerting yourself. Although fitted, you'll still be able to layer under the Stretch Paddling Pants, while enjoying excellent freedom of movement with a gusseted crotch, articulated knees, and adjustable neoprene cuffs & waistband.

a little dissapointed
There was one major problem to these pants. The seat and upper legs are far roomier than you would ever need and bulge out in an unflattering way. I understand if you want room for a layer or two, but anyone who wears these expects to get wet and you would never need that many layers underneath if they might get wet. Everything else about these paddling pants I loved. I use them for sailing and the strechy seat is crucial. The neoprene waistband and the tapered velcro ankles keep water out.

Training Tips
One of the most mentally toughening things you can do as a runner who trains daily is to add a morning run into your routine. This means you are doing two runs a day. The morning run is simply more of a mental challenge then anything else.
Have two pairs of running shoes, especially if you live in a wet climate. Consider replacing your shoes no later than 500 miles into the life of the shoes.
Proper hydration for a run includes drinking 30 - 45 minutes before you start and about a cup every 10 - 15 minutes while running.
One of the best ways to win a running race is to win it in your mind first. Visualize yourself running and winning that important race. The more often you do this, you will start to "feel" the race. Your heart will get pumping and your body will feel the effort required to get the job done.
