Second layer of skin
The Momentum's 98% windproof fabric is a life saver. Yesterday in Boulder, CO we had wind gusts over 50mph and I of-course had my fancy new softshell on and was very impressed. The pockets, although tough to access with just one hand, are soft inside and work well for keeping movement of articles inside to a minimum when moving b/c they are located higher on the torso. the water tight zips look cool but at times are tough to deal with. I'm ok with the trade off b/c most of my other jackets now have the same zips and I'm used to them. It has a draw cord which is great b/c I can alter the breatheability/warmth of the jacket easily with small adjustments. Neck is sometime scratchy on my beard but does have a cover over the zip to keep abrasion down. All in all it's a great jacket to become a second layer of skin. I find I always have it on so I'm definitely getting my money's worth.
Killer Jacket!!
This softshell is one of the most versatile pieces that I have. The Polartec power Shield fabric is super burly, extremely breathable, wind resistant. At 13oz, it is also one of the lightest soft shell jackets out there on the market. A great buy!!
GoLite Momentum Jacket
This jacket rocks! I was surprised that this jacket is actually Powershield - it is lighter than any Powershield I have ever used in the past (mostly in ski jackets) - but still offers the same great wind protection, just without the bulk. And I like the simplicity, and the two pockets are mesh so I can vent if I need to. I definitely recommend this jacket!

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.
