Itchy & scratchy no more!

I remember in my years of downhill skiing of reaching for something wool in a desperate attempt to keep warm. I can still recall the feeling of being so itchy from wool that my skin still rebels at the thought of anything that offensive next to it.

That was before Merino wool!

Last weekend I was running alongside a gal that wore a beautiful hot pink Merino wool hoodie. "Dye-able" is what crossed my mind. I know that Merino wool isn't a 2011 phenomena, but check out this gorgeous piece on the left. Love the fit, love the technical aspects of what it does for us cold weather runners and I love the design! This top is available here from Nature Shop.

I definitely scream for custom athletic gear!

How fabulous is Ice Cream?
Pictured above are three styles from the Quebec-based company (yes - called Ice Cream!). There are many more. What's absolutely fantastic is that you choose the style and then you choose the fabric. The fabric is all sweat-wicking so you're only limited by...nothing really! This is almost like being a kid in a candy store! I love ICE CREAM!
