The North Face Varius Guide Jacket - Mens
The North Face Varius Guide Jacket proves that stretch technical alpine jackets don't have to break the bank. Made from The North Face's waterproof/breathable HyVent fabric, the Varius stretches in key areas to allow maximum freedom of movement on hairy technical runs and ascents. Pit zip vents keep the sweathog factor under control, and details like a brushed chin guard and removable hood add the polish that makes a good coat great. The Varius Guide Jacket is the ultimate coat for the casual skier.

WOW!
The coat is all I expected it to be and more.
Great all-purpose shell
This jacket is great for all around weather protection. It keeps you dry and is totally windproof. It won't keep you warm alone, so when it gets really cold layer a fleece under it, which should be more than enough.
Nice jacket but not for snowboarding
I love the jacket, as an everyday jacket. But the style is a bit too fitted for a snowboard jacket. I guess it just don't have the boarder attitude. Other than that, it's great. It's really warm and feels nice on me.

Training Tips
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.
Be serious about getting and staying in shape. Create a written plan that outlines the steps you are taking and the expected result by a certain date. Review your plan frequently and adjust as necessary. Do what it takes to get what you want.
Buy running gear made with performance fabrics - Supplex, Coolmax, Lycra, Goretex - that allow for full range of motion.
