Holiday Gifts for Runners

A request was made for suggested gifts for runners, so here's a list:

1. Watch -with a timer mode for working out. The cheaper the better, so if it is lost it's not a great loss. However, spending money on a nicer watch would be good if it encouraged the runner to wear it everyday. With over 30 runners in track there are times when each athlete needs to be responsible for his/her own times during workouts.

2. Shoes - XC is over and probably is the cushioning in your runners shoes.

3. Winter running gear - See previous entry last January or February for ideas.

4. Spike bag - for carrying around racing spikes

5. Water bottle with athletes name on it.

6. Socks

7. Big items for family fitness - treadmill, eliptical trainer

8. Check out South Sound Running for other ideas!

If anyone has other suggestions e mail me at jlmiller@osd.wednet.edu and i'll post them.
