Hey there. I am looking for some advice on base layers, including socks for running in colder, damper weather. I now have a great jacket from Lululemon that I look forward to trying out. I have a few long sleeve technical tops and a few pairs of pants and gloves.
What's out there that you can recommend.

Coconut Water
When running and past the halfway mark of my route the thing that is on my mind is a cold glass or two, maybe three, of coconut water. There are so many benefits - First of which is no added sugar. There are all kinds of electrolytes that are in coconut water that help with exercise recovery.
Check the label to make sure it is as pure and unprocessed as possible and without added sugar. There are more details in this article at Mercola.com

Very Sore Feet
Still dealing with plantar fasciitis. I have gotten rid of the tightness in my calves and I feel like I am getting some relief. After a run it feels like the progress I've made is gone.
I don't want to stop running to fix the feet. I tried the frozen water bottle and the relief is temporary. Maybe keeping it up would help. Any home remedies that don't include not-running?
I am going to roll a tennis ball under my feet while enjoying a chianti.

The Purpose
First - I am not qualified to give advice and anything I post here is purely of a recreational nature or for my amusement only.
I purchased an activity tracker around March of 2014. In an effort to increase and sustain my activity levels I started walking, then what I call shuffling, however I am now a runner. It's just beginning, It is now summer here, the hot, humid days haven't hid hard yet and I have yet to face the challenges of running during the great Canadian winters.
If you are reading this I would love to hear about your experiences getting started.
I am currently running 4km, three times a week. I am okay with the distance and I am trying to maintain a pace of about 7 1/2 minutes per km.
Sounds achievable, however, I am also dealing with Plantar Fasciitis and very tight calves. It is a bit discouraging. I bought tennis balls to massage the bottom of my feet. I am trying to stretch before, after and at random times throughout the day.
