Today’s item for the runners’ wishlists: The Nike Therma Lite Long Sleeve Crew. I love this shirt even if I’m opposed to the silly spelling of “lite.” Most winter days call for a long sleeve base layer and a jacket. Maybe a thermal layer in between on days (like today) featuring an arctic wind. This top can function either as the base layer or the thermal layer. Also nice, it looks sweet. I really like the ribbed texture: I think it makes it look classier than most running shirts. It’s a nice deal at $45, too.

These have been going out of the store pretty quickly, so I wouldn’t wait on it. Saturday, December 18, is the Shopping Jam in Holland. We usually have quite a crowd waiting to get into the store. From 8-9 am, you can take 20% one item (non-Garmin). It drops to 15% at 9:00. The sale ends at 10:00, so set your alarm. Feel free to come in with bed head like the model to the right.
