The North Face Venture Jacket - Men's
The North Face Men's Venture Jacket is a lightweight, waterproof, and breathable jacket designed for hiking, backpacking, climbing-any adventure in warmer, wet conditions. The Venture features HyVent DT, a highly breathable, waterproof fabric with a raised microdot inner surface that acts to lift the shell fabric away from your skin. This provides a comfortable, soft, easy-sliding feel while maximizing moisture transport away from your skin. The result: you stay drier and warmer. The lightweight Venture jacket weighs in at a mere 12.5 ounces, has an adjustable, rollable hood, a brushed chinguard lining, and pit zips so you don't roast when rainy weather gets a little too warm. This highly compressible jacket stows away in its own left pocket. Other nice touches include Velcro adjustable cuffs, two hand pockets, and a hem cinchcord.

Great jacket
My husband bought this jacket for our trip to England and Scotland, both very rainy places. This jacket made it possible for us to enjoy the UK even when it was rainy. The jackets were convenient to wear when it wasn't raining and kept us impeccably dry even when it rained all day.
great jacket
I have had this jacket for a little over a year and it has performed great. It is incredibly versatile highly waterproof jacket that has always performed to my needs. Bottom line is it is a high quality compressible jacket.

Great jacket - completely rain/weather proof....
An outstanding rain jacket!
Perfect for summer rains in the deep south. Completely waterproof, but being light, breathable, and having zipper-controlled ventilation, it is not hot and clammy like my other rain jackets. I particularly like the adjustable hood that stays in place, and the compactness when folded.
North Face Venture Jacket - excellent
This is a great jacket, and waterproof as advertised. It's lightweight, takes up very little space and loks well done and "assembled." I use it sometimes when playing golf, and my only complaint would be the hood, that isn't possible to fold in a proper way - it blows around my head in windy conditions.

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.
