Forums >Gears and Wears>What new gear did you get for Christmas?
What all new running/biking/fitness gear did you get for Christmas? What's your favorite? Anything you didn't like?
I got a flashing led light, a balaclava, compression shirt, a Stick and a pink reflective running vest. My favorite is a toss up between the vest and the Stick.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays...now get out there and run those cookies off!
I don't half-ass anything

You Christmas Eve gift opener you! BOOOO. That's worse than the whole light switch thing!
The only running gear I got I bought for myself. I bought a jacket (Mizuno Elixir), a shirt (Running Warehouse Long Sleeve), and a backpack (Camelbak Octane 18X).
The only present I got was from my wife. It was a digital scale, so that I could make better bread.
We do Christmas Eve so we can enjoy it without interference from our midget. A 2 year old wreaks havoc on gift giving situations! What's the light switch thing?
Believe me, as you are in possession of a midget (or he/she is in possession of you), it is better not to know.
Still though.
CHRISTMAS EVE GIFT OPENERS MAKE TINY BABY JESUS CRY.
I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger.
I'll know my presents in about seven hours.

Ron - sounds like you did well. Enjoy the run!
We don't exchange gifts on Christmas day, but I bought a pair of VFF Sprints at steep discount with DW permission as my Chanukah/Christmas gift at a local Luke's Locker grand opening. Also got a nice long sleeve tech shirt for completing the Decker Challenge half... not sure if it counts as a gift but it is new...LOL
