Forums >Gears and Wears>What new gear did you get for Christmas?
Whoa. I saw that AP was the last poster on this thread. So I clicked on it and saw a pic of WBR. I thought that AP got WBR for Christmas. Never mind.

I must have been good this year (or running keeps from getting on my family's nerves): new fleece gloves, UA socks, UA long sleeve, UA ColdGear compression pants, RRS DryRoad Elite socks, compression socks, Timex Ironman watch, clif bars, and NipGuards. Though it won't be useful until spring / summer, I also got Scape athlete sunblock - we weren't as fortunate as Zoom-Zoom and lost my father to melanoma earlier this year, so I've got to be extra careful now on the sunny long runs. Also, the wife got a fuel belt in preparation for our first marathon this year.
Another exciting thing (at least to me) - I reached my 1500 mile goal today! Got a whole week to spare even though I was behind the pace bunny by 140+ miles earlier this year. I always liked a strong finishing kick!

Garmin 405CX. Never used anything like it before...and it tells me I am a careless trainer...

Reading this thread is putting me into the biggest, most childish sulk ever!
I didn't get ANYTHING even vaguely related to running. Nothing, nada, zip.
Not even new socks.
I'm going to have to make myself feel better by getting something in the sales!
I did get some other, very kind, generous and lovely presents. However as I'm being childish I will still have a tantrum about the lack of running stuff.
"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

Socks, socks and more socks.
I get all my socks for the year at Christmas, every year, and I love it! Thanks Santa, you rock!
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
I bought myself a gift card from Runner's Warehouse, and now I CAN'T FIND IT. Bummer that. Guess it means I have to keep cleaning this week until I do find it.
I also bought myself a running skirt and socks.
The only running gift I did not purchase for myself was a box of Pop-Tarts.
I am now the proud owner of a snuggie that looks like superman's outfit.
I look my best blurry!
It was the best bread pudding ever.
Nemo-careless trainer?
Running too hard on long runs...and on my "maintenance" miles.
Mine tells me the same thing everyday. They must be defective.
Isn't that Nobby's job?
And you guys are making me hungry! I think there is still cake in the fridge....
