Did Santa bring you any running-related gifts this time
around?
I think it’s extra cool when someone comes up with a holiday
gift that truly fits the recipient. When people say, “It’s the thought that
counts,” I’m pretty sure that’s what they mean. The best gifts are given with
the grantees’ best interests in mind.
And this is particularly pertinent for runners, because we
all know how often non-runners simply roll their eyes when we crow about our
daily mileages, race times, and workout milestones. Some of those who don’t
enjoy running may listen patiently, but plenty of them simply groan, either
inwardly or audibly. We may even hear sarcastic or exasperated comments:
“There
he goes, talking about running again.”
“Ugh, not another mileage boast.”
“Does she ever think about anything besides
her next run?”
“If
I have to listen to one more marathon story…”
So, when a gift giver is willing and able to enter our world
and recognize our running passion with a spot-on present, then that means a lot
to us.

Look what my kid gave
me for Christmas!
It’s a custom race medals rack, personalized with the name
of my running blog site. Now, if I can just rack up a few medals this year to
fill this thing up!
