Christmas running gifts

[lollytwist]

My daughter wants to buy me a Christmas gift to help me with my running! As there’s no kit that I need I was thinking about a massage or chiropodist session. Has anyone any other ideas I could pass on to her?

How about entry fee to a race next year, if you haven’t done one yet? That will give you something to aim for. 🏃‍♀️🏅

What a great idea Dexy5, that would certainly motivate me for 2019! Thanks 😄🏃‍♀️

Running Diary.. they are brilliant... Bling holder for all your medals... I had one last year as a gift

[lollytwist Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

A diary sounds good, it would be great to track my progress, especially if I’m aiming for medals in 2019! Thanks Oldfloss 🏅

Do you like reading? If so I recommend “Don’t Stop me Now” by Vassos Alexander and “Run Like a Girl “by Alexandra Heminsley - both inspiring reads for a runner! 😁

[lollytwist Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Thanks Sadie, I do enjoy a good read, these books will be going on my wish list 😄

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Thanks Sadie I think you’ve helped my letter to Santa too.

[Sadie-runs Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

😁🎅 Both are great reads. x

Thanks. Vassos is on radio 2? Might pop on my list too. ... Although I don't have a list just yet. 🎅

[Sadie-runs Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Yes, I think he is. He has two books out - both utterly compelling. 🤓

[Deals1 Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Going to check it out. Thanks

Have you thought about a subscription to a running mag? Its one of my best ever running pressies...a new mag to read drops through the letter box each month 😀

[lollytwist Graduate10 in reply to Millsie-J]

Another fab suggestion! Thanks so much Millsie-J 😄

What about entry to a virtual run. Nice bit of bling and some motivation!

[lollytwist Graduate10]

I like that idea Sandyw! Nice one, thanks 😄

More books: two by Richard Askwith Running Free, and Today We Die a Little (a biography of Emil Zatopek) plus Run Wild by Boff Whalley

A virtual event medals voucher

Parkrun wristband

Ekhart Yoga subscription

but your original ideas sound great to me!
