    Nike LunarGlide 3 Of all the swooshes we�ve tried, this lightweight but supportive sneaker is our fave. The foam in the footbeds molds to your peds, so you literally have a custom fit after a couple of runs. Plus, we�re psyched to show our city pride with the limited-edition Chicago pair available just in time for the marathon. $100 at Niketown, 669 N Michigan Ave (312-642-6363) .

  6. Puma Men�s Run Tee Here�s the running shirt you look forward to putting on: It feels good, it looks good, and with its slim, flattering fit, it reminds you that you�re in (reasonably) good shape. Use it as a layering piece all winter long. $38 at Puma, 108 N State St (312-263-9006).

  7. Puma Graphic Women�s Long Running Tights These are the perfect lightweight, transition tights as cooler autumn temps settle in. After spending the past ten winters in plain black tights, this colorful, patterned pant put a spring in our step. One caveat: The waist sits low, so if you like more coverage in your running tights, you might find yourself yanking these up. $60 at Puma, 108 N State St (312-263-9006).
