    Sugnim I would do that but I have paranoia and cannot leave the house if the stove is hot. I have a french press for the weekends and it's ammaaaaaazing. I just found out from a coworker that you can actually make your own coffee in the Keurig so I wouldn't have to buy all those Kcups, so now it's officially on my list.

     

    Beth, I've got my fingers crossed that I win the Run Like a Princess sweepstakes. I have my registration already but have yet to bite the bullet on airfare and hotel. I have a place reserved but I think I'm going to cancel, it's $200 a night with a lot of beds but I don't have anyone to share it with! The people I'm running with are crashing with a friend, and I just can't stay with strangers, ugh.

    Only 5ks for a while!

       Dang, I will cross my fingers for you! I would invite you to bunk with my group but we are full and you can't stay with strangers anyway!LOL I don't blame you. But I still hope it works out for you. I am working on making our costumes right now.

        Hey bs, we share a birthday! I'll be 39. No really, I will.

         

        Our dog just had emergency vet care this weekend, so our holiday budget got blown. $890 bucks and I hate ham even more now. Damn ham bones & relatives! But she looks like she will pull through(it was touch and go for about 24 hours there). 9 years old and the sweetest thing ever, how can you not try to save her no matter what?

         

        So we are just putting a bow on her head and calling it good. I will get a pair of Soft Star leather boots I bought last February on their annual clearance sale that I have waited nearly a whole year to open & wear. Those will be for my birthday(the 26th). Our kids will get a board game to share and Santa will bring the a book each. But seriously, that is it. The dog literally ate our Christmas.

          Beth, just as long as you say hi at the expo or somewhere I'll be happy! I think I can get a hotel for much cheaper.

           

          Nakedbabytoes, sorry to hear about the vet bills and the pup. But glad to hear she is ok!

            I asked for a Garmin and some winter running gear. Big grin

             Same. And I bought myself some winter gear already because it's too cold to wait until Christmas.

            I pick things up and put them down, and when I'm not broken I run.


            2013 Goal: 2013 mi.

              All I want for Christmas is a Pathfinder.   One of these kinds of Pathfinders:

               Nike Dri-Fit Socks.  Smile

              The Plan (the big parts)→  ///  April 20th:  24 Hour Race Hampton, VA  (PR of 76.25 Miles)  ///  May 19th:  Three Days at the Fair (12 Hour) in NJ  (PR of 55 Miles)  ///  Sep 21st:  NC-24 Hour Race in Ohio  ///  Nov 23rd:  JFK-50 in MD  ///  Dec 31st:  Peanut Island (12 Hour) in FL  /// ∞

                 Same. And I bought myself some winter gear already because it's too cold to wait until Christmas.

                 

                I don't expect the weather to get below 40F where I am before Christmas, so I'm just going to stick it out with my "fall gear."

                  I would like a pair of sub 20 5k legs please!

                   

                  Let me know which robot store sells these.

                  Started C25K on 9/6/12. First 5K set for 1/13/13.


                  Peace out!

                       Same. And I bought myself some winter gear already because it's too cold to wait until Christmas.

                       

                      I wish I had done that, but I put the gear I wanted on my wish list, and I think that between husband/parents/in-laws, someone is getting it.  

                       

                      This is my third winter in Minnesota, and every year I come up with new things that I need for winter running - this year I want mittens, since this is the first winter where I have to do really long runs in the coldest part of the winter and I'm already tired of having useless claws for hands two miles into my run.  Opening a gel with zero grip strength is an interesting process.

                       

                      Meanwhile, I haven't gotten any new summer running gear in about three years, other than race shirts and a single pair of shorts I bought cheap at TJ Maxx.  Maybe that's what should have been on my wish list :P 

                       

                      Other than that, I just want a couple of cookbooks and CDs.  No bigger items on the list this year.  Though, I would not be surprised if my husband buys me a Nintendo 3DS.  I'm a nerd and have a DS that I play on, and from some questions he was asking, I wouldn't be surprised if he got me one of the new ones.

                        Oh, the list could go on... but I'll stick with a Garmin for now.

                        Do you even run?

                          I understand that's been discontinued.  DW bought one and loved it.  She tried to get a price match when the product was discontinued and prices chopped shortly after she bought it.  They wouldn't honor the price match so she just returned it.  She didn't want a discontinued product that would have no further development on it.   #coolstorybro

                            OMG they have changed so much!!  I used to drive a 2005 but sold it when gas went through the roof.  I'm the first to admit the 05 body style was UGLY.  This looks hot though!  Enjoy!

                              I asked for a pair of new running shoes. I have three pair in rotation and two are getting up there in miles. So it's time for some new ones!
