Since today is Tuesday, I’m linking up with Zenaida and Kim (Kooky Runner).
The Topic this week is: Holiday Gifts
When your spouse, family members or friends ask what you want for the holidays, here are a few things that you could tell them:
- A Gift card for Running Shoes
Just because you are not racing doesn’t mean that new shoes won’t spice up your runs.
- Sunglasses
If you’re like me, you always either lose them or break them.

Love Goodr glasses
- Socks
Yes, I often lose one and only my good ones.
Entry fee to a big raceA Massage Gun
You don’t need a name brand (like Theragun). There are many out there that are inexpensive. I have one and it works great!
- A new GPS Watch
I still prefer my Garmin 205 LOL
- A Cute Shirt
Who doesn’t love a running shirt with a crazy saying?
- A Buff/Gaiter/Head Band
To be used for the cold weather and/or COVID protection.
- A Cool Coffee Mug
- A Running Book
There are so many running-related books to choose from…. It’s impossible to have read them all.
![Your Pace or Mine?: What Running Taught Me About Life, Laughter and Coming Last by [Lisa Jackson]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NU21YWr7L.jpg)
this is one I recently downloaded
- Bluetooth Headphones
for listening to your favorite tunes or podcasts on the run. I love my AfterShoks but there are many other brands as well.
I’m also linking up here:
with co-hosts Coach Debbie Runs, Confessions of a Mother Runner, Mile by Mile, Runs with Pugs, and Laura Norris Running.
Happy Running! Are any of these on your list? What else would you like?
A gift card for the local running store!
It was so funny: every time I changed jobs or something was celebrated, my colleagues always gave me gift cards of the local running store. I still haven’t used them all. 😄

Yes, I thought so. Definitely a great gift because they are not necessary but fun.

All the good stuff here 😉 We have a local shoe store, but they’ve always had limited running/fitness shoes and gear. I always but my SmartWool socks there…and just found out they now carry Brooks shoes, and my favorite model (the Adrenaline).Score!!!! I have several buffs (from races) that I’d just started using more last year, and now they’re all the rage. That’s definitely good timing!

We have a local store too but not so nearby. They have limited styles but also probably some good gift items.

the massage gun has been a nice addition to my recovery arsenal. You are right, there are so many lesser expensive options that do the trick on the market now.
