Snap! You are starting to freak me out Linda, we started Abi’s plan at the same time, are going on holiday at the same time and now I find you coveting the same piece of kit πŸ˜³πŸ€”πŸ˜‚ this is like having a doppelgΓ€nger 😁

linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toTeri73

Haha. Not really coveting it as I already bought it and hid it in hubbie's wardrobe for him to wrap :D :D :D

I'm going to guess from your user name that you're younger than me for starters! Although from my user name I guess I could be 93, 89, 38, or 25, 29 or 70, but I'm actually 57 so maybe that doesn't work :D :D :D

You are far more organised than me too, been dropping hints about the hydration vest but if Santa doesn’t bring one, the January sales beckon....

You guessed correctly, I am 45, a mere baby compared to some of the inspirational superstars on here, I hope I am still running when I am in my 70’s! 😁

Just looked at your profile - if you're running in Windsor you're maybe not that far away from me either :D

Teri73 profile image
Teri73β€’ in reply tolinda9389

I am near Guildford, I suspect you might be closer to to south coast from your race history?

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toTeri73

No, I'm actually in South Bucks so GSR was a bit of a trek. It was your Windsor race that made me think you might be this way :)

My hydration vest..is I think in Mr Of's study.... ju-ju- gave me the heads up on a good deal . I sent it to Mr OF :)

linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toOldfloss

A popular item this Christmas πŸ˜€ I got mine reduced from Wiggle. I didn't really know what I should be looking for but it was such a good deal I just took a chance.

Teri73β€’ in reply toOldfloss

Which vest did you go for OF? I have been looking at one in decathlon, only Β£15 including the bladder, but not sure how much abuse it will take, as grandma used to say, β€œbuy cheap, buy twice”.

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministratorβ€’ in reply toTeri73

It was on offer..but not cheap..on Amazon..a Salomon advanced skin 5 set...lightweight...

I read that as hydrogen vest πŸ€“

And a pair of running gloves 😁

it's OK - I got my gloves last year ... yes, they were a Christmas present :D

Nothing running related on my list! Now I've run through a whole year I think I've everything I need πŸ˜€

... Though I never say no to more socks. And buffs. I've about thirty of the latter but still buy them.

And I'd like the Icelandic running people to open entries for 2019 so I can actually book my plane and accommodation.

So maybe those things.

Ah, I thought I couldn't get more buffs as I have two already, but now I've read this...😁

Sqkr profile image
SqkrHalf Marathonβ€’ in reply toMutleyShuffle

I have a buff for all occasions! Regular original buffs, a full range of merino buffs for cold days, a hooded buff which I've never even worn. Then there are souvenir buffs from holidays, themed buffs for specific events... I have a buff problem 😞

MutleyShuffle profile image
MutleyShuffleHalf Marathonβ€’ in reply toSqkr

πŸ˜‚ That is a lot of buffs! But they sound very useful πŸ˜‰

I'm not sure they are sexy, but I have asked for some double layer Runderwear socks. To prevent blisters. Even though I don't get blisters. I figure I will never justify buying fancy expensive running socks for myself, but if someone else buys them for me that's ok.

Another item further down my list is for all the family to come on a Parkrun with me even if they walk it. I fear I will be disappointed on this one.

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toLangley-Loper

Ahh that's a lovely thing on your list - the Parkrun. The socks though, just as well you don't get blisters - I get blisters even wearing the runderwear socks! Their knickers are ace tho πŸ˜€ and my Christmas baselayer is from them too

Persuade them with a bacon πŸ₯“ sandwich from dotties or all your eat breakfast from the Malta Inn.

Oh one day I might reconoise you and say hello.

I have tried food bribes. I use the term loosely - Macdonalds on the way home doesn't perhaps count as real food.

Mr L-L has a new sports lens for his camera for Christmas. He could come and take photos and get a volunteer credit!

I am also looking out for Paul German who is on Strava and brother of TedG . Maybe we should list our distinguishing features or have a red carnation in our lapel and a copy of The Times under our arm....

For Mr Mutley to fix my driftwood medal holder on the wall! A gift that costs nothing but time...and drill skills! 😊 πŸ› πŸŽ„πŸŽ

Hydration vest.... which..hopefully if I am very, very good I shall be getting :)

Bone conductor headphones. Sadly I don't think I will be receiving these. I've come across my present quite by accident. It was in OH's home office. On his desk with just a few sheets of paper partially covering it. Ah, well.

Ah no. I don't like seeing my present in advance πŸ˜“. U might still get surprises !

Wireless headphones! Sick of the fiddly ones I currently have 😁

I've ticked other, albeit it may come under "shoes", but there's a world of difference between new trail runners and Jimmy Choos!

Since I got my Christmas gift early (Garmin 735XT), I'll be lucky to get a box of Maltesers, but you never know...πŸŽ…

Hopefully a return ticket to Paris on the eurostar or a race entry into beerlovermarathon.be/

I think a fenix 5+ would be quickly tippex'd out.

Interesting race. Hopefully not a pint of each beer en route.

I've discovered some great running underwear (The Other Danish Guy) made from recycled plastics recovered from the oceans! Very comfy and are now my goto running undies. I want a few more pairs for Xmas!
