Now that Christmas is over we can all stop talking about how it’s better to give than to receive and we can start boasting about all the great gifts we got. Did you get any good running gifts for Christmas? Go ahead, make us all envious. I tell you what, I’ll start.
I got all kinds of running apparel, cold gear, hot gear and gift cards to buy whatever-the-hell-I-want-gear, but the one thing that you’ll all be jealous of is the slap bands that I got in my stocking. Not just any slap bands, but reflective slap bands. They go on my wrists or on my ankles or anywhere I want to be reflective, and perhaps more importantly they make me want to do the Electric Slide. Come let me take you on a party ride. And I’ll teach you, teach you, teach you, I’ll teach you the electric slide.
I got those too! Well, the Brooks version of the same thing.
ReplyDeletelol. i got a nike triax heart rate monitor for spin class, 8 pairs of under armour "no show" socks, and some new music...that's it for running/workout gear...lol.
ReplyDeleteSweet. I got some running clothing (that I'm returning for cuter stuff) and gift cert to get a Garmin.
ReplyDeleteOnly wish that I could have gotten some slap bracelets. Instead got Lore of Running by Tim Noakes and Again to Carthage. Good reading for post long running laziness.
ReplyDeleteplease tell me you had to look up those lyrics. please tell me you don't have them memorized.

ReplyDeleteI got a Garmin Forerunner 305...
ReplyDeleteI sorta told Santa Christmas 2007 would be his last if I didn't get it...so for the sake of all those kiddos out there, I'm glad he did...
Sorry for deleting the other comment, but I had no idea my user profile name had been changed to "I'm Amy From"...what a dork.
I got a long sleeve tech shirt and a book called "The Gift: A Runner's Story". I also got a gift card to Dick's to buy running gear. Can't wait to use that.
ReplyDeleteI got the 305 also, for the most part, that is all I asked for. Since when it comes down to it, it comes from my paycheck. I was very suprised to get it. I was told that I already have a GPS unit and did not need another one. Well I got it.
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO at MPA!! And I was wondering the same thing . . . That's pretty scary Vanilla. You know Macerena too? :P
ReplyDeleteI probably know the lyrics to both Electric Slide AND the Macarena. I'm really pathetic.
ReplyDeleteI got: two new headbands and one pair of gloves for running in cold weather, a new sports bra, and... I guess that's it for running, but I got a bunch of general fitness/healthy things (Misto Olive Oil sprayer, various cookbooks and weight training books, weight lifting gloves).
I also got the Macarena stuck in my head. Aw, Marcy, you shouldn't have!
"or anywhere I want to be reflective" ???
ReplyDeleteOh God, am I the only one getting visions I shouldn't be??
Does this mean you will be doing more running in the early dark hours of morning?
ReplyDeleteThose are like the old school bracelets from 1988? How fun! I got the Nike Plus :o)
ReplyDeleteHey! I got those too! Mine are green.
ReplyDeleteA pair of reflective pants, scheels gift card, Dick's gift card, an iPod Shuffle, and $30 in Starbucks Gift cards. The last one has nothing to do WHILE I'm running, but it's my treat after a run.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah...and a BO BIG RED t-shirt. And to think I almost forgot that one. :)
ReplyDeleteCool... I want those!
ReplyDeleteI got an entry fee to the Tokyo Marathon, airline tickets, a room at the Tokyo Westin and a $1000 gift card at my favorite running store.
ReplyDeleteNo, just kidding. Running socks and a Runner's World calander just didn't sound as fun.
I got REAL running shoes. woo-hoo!
