Forums >Gears and Wears>What new gear did you get for Christmas?
I look my best blurry!
You should just buy your own, then. Mine has been missing ever since Vegas, so I ordered a new one and also ordered one for my hubby. He often rides alone with no ID--I don't really like that.
Nah! I like to get lost anyway.
Trent- Don't give dreamless any ideas. He might give me away. He might be tired of being my sponsor!!!
not bad for mile 25
I got a Road ID badge from my family with DNR on it.
It does seem a little freaky for someone to give you a DNR badge. Seems like something one gets for oneself.
MTA: Yeah, I get the Real sentiment, though.
I don't believe you but it was a clever post anyway. Lol! My husband talks about getting me one but he never has. Maybe he doesn't want me back if something should happen. Hmmm.....
DNR could just mean Do Not Return.
My teenage son suggested the tag simply said "Sell organs to highest bidder". I don't know where he gets it from.
I did also get some nighttime running visibility gadgets, and a couple of books by Matt Fitzgerald. 'Racing Weight' and 'RUN: The Mind-Body Method of Running by Feel'.
And a lot of chocolate and wine.
The process is the goal.
Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.
SMART Approach
.......... My hubby also is cancer-free (after being diagnosed with a melanoma on his forearm last Spring and losing a hunk of skin and a lymph node in his armpit). I really scored this year!
That is an awesome gift in its own right! Congrats! I know how being cancer free feels!!!! Yipee!!!

Yup...definitely the best gift of the year. All the rest of it would be of no value without him around.

Kunland- pic of vest? Sounds nice! I'm waiting for some Asics hot pink Speedstars to come in. They might go well together. Valentines' Day isn't far away.
Here's the vest, I'm too lazy for actual pictures. I think SRL needs one...
WBR - I love the jacket, it's too cute!
Zoom - you win in the best Christmas category, hands down!
My favorite was today's run: Big fat, fluffy snowflakes and helping a sweet little old lady who stopped her car to ask for directions. She had gotten turned around and was driving aimlessly.
I don't half-ass anything
"I have several close friends who have run marathons, a word that is actually derived from two Swahili words: mara, which means 'to die a horrible death' and thon, which means 'for a stupid T-shirt.' Look it up." - Celia Rivenbark, You Can't Drink All Day if You Don't Start in the Morning
Some Nike Frees (bought them myself actually) and the fastest run (unintentionally) of the year on my 4 mile route. Christmas magic!
Also reflective Nathan arm sleeves but didn't use them today.
"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."
Trent!!
Modified to explain: My sister, who knows nothing about THE Flying Monkey, gave this to me. (I don't' know a lot about it either, but hope to learn someday.)
Imminent Catastrophe
I put a dollar in the coke machine, and it gave me two diet cokes instead of one.
