    What are you asking for this year (even if you just buy it for yourself)?

    Only 5ks for a while!

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

      Moving forward one step at a time :-)

        HM/FM registrations and a running beanie.  Nothing else, much to the wife's frustration.

          I bought my first garmin, it will be here Friday!

              I asked for a new coffee pot, considering mine will turn even the finest grounds into something that tastes like water. I'm also buying myself some Kinvaras on Friday with the $10 off coupon I get from a LRS group run on Friday! YAY!

               

              So, if anyone has a really good coffee maker (not a K cup though), please let me know what it is. I like my coffee strong!

              Only 5ks for a while!

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

                  I asked for remote start for my car so when I leave early in the morning for the gym I don't have to waste running time scraping the windows.

                    A bike trainer for me, and an Ironman race entry fee next season. I'm still building my winter running gear collection too.

                      I put an insanely expensive Lululemon gym bag on my Amazon wish list. I'm not expecting anyone to buy it for me. Really, all I want is cash for race registrations but my family (and in-laws) don't give cash for Christmas.

                       

                      I'm sure husband will make good with some great winter running gear as he always does.

                        Meeeeee too Gustav!!!!! Some running clothes I picked out, a new watch--not a Garmin, but a new stopwatch wristwatch. That's what I use for track workouts and my old one is rusting inside. I want this cool Shark brand one in rasta colors. Also gift cards to the Limited. It's where I get all my work clothes and suits and stuff and I spend so much on running clothes, I haven't bought work clothes in ages!

                           A stove-top percolator makes the best coffee.  You can get them for about $20 or $30, and they last forever.  You can make the coffee as strong or as weak as you like, depending upon how long you let it perk.  Plus, it's kind of fun to see it percolating.

                                I'm guessing I'll get some running-related stuff this year. Probably gift cards and what-not.

                                 

                                My boyfriend and I just bought a house in May and we decided that instead of buying each other a bunch of stuff, we'll buy each other one small gift and spend the rest on curtains for every room in the house. I'll be off for two weeks due to working for a university - HOLLA!!!! - so I'll be doing a LOT of painting over the break.
