Best run gear from Lululemon to keep the warm in and the cold out.

1. The Principle Jacket (pictured above) is the epitome of fitness fashion. It's cropped and form fitting with a large zip-up collar and motorcycle zipper sleeves. It's light, angular and easily unzipped for ventilation. 

2. The Winter Run Glove is a glove with a mitten-like fold. The glove's moisture wicking keeps fingers dry and warm, and the mitten fold protects against the wind. It comes in black and gray (and hopefully more colors next winter). You'll easily wear these gloves 24/7 but be careful not to lose them because they're not cheap. 

3. The Ultralight Armwarmer is genius. It adds an extra layer of warmth to your arms and stays put without irritation. It's thin enough to wear under a jacket/hoodie and stretchy enough to wear over a long sleeve top. Or, just wear it with a t-shirt. I usually pair the Armwarmer with the Winter Run Glove since my hands are extremely...

They're calling it the ultimate minimalist running shoe. It's taken forever to come out and now you can buy a pair online before the Evo hits stores. I'm not a huge fan of the current Vivo colors but I have a feeling these shoes are going to be a hit with runners and eco athletes which means we'll see more colors and styles as popularity grows. If you're aiming for a more natural stride, this is the shoe to check out. Terrra Plana has an excellent track record for making comfortably stylish walking shoes that are planet friendly. Let's see if they can win the hearts of runners.

As soon as they're in stores I'll let you know where you can test drive a pair. Otherwise check the link below to preview and shop. My favorites are the women's yellow and men's white.

My feet are in love with Saucony's ProGrid Triumph 7 sneakers. Here's why:

1. From the minute I slipped them on, my feet were in the comfort zone.

2. Amazing breathability. The ProGrids are covered with ventilation holes for a nice cooling effect.

3. Nice and cushiony. Made for neutral runners.

4. Heavier than recent running shoe models, but in a good way. ProGrid's "extra weight" gives you more spring and support.

5. Bright colors. If you're not into fuschia soles, try the yellow or red soles from the men's line. The black and gray tones pull everything together and will most likely match your workout-wear.

6. Open cell foam sockliner. It's antimicrobial so your shoes won't stink and your feet won't turn green (fungus).

7. The midsole is made with impact deflection technology. This feature really impressed me because I'm a hard runner and usually feel the impact in my feet no matter what shoe I'm wearing. The ProGrids somehow absorb shock and...
