    Another technical top?
    Another pair of running shoes?
    Another gadget to analyze the performance?
    Whats on your list?

    It'll be a non-running prezzie for me I reckon as the OH just lets me get on with my addictive pastime. A paid trip to a nice marathon would be nice though OH if you read this :)

    A spouse of a club member got in contact with our club to request that their partners club membership be paid for 2010, which i thought was a very good gift idea.

    socks are best - IMO.;)

    I got a HRT book for my birthday on Monday. I always get running pressies.

    Are you a woman on the verge?!
    Happy birthday!

    Money, so I can hit the sales after Christmas! Hoping to grab shoes, a top and possibly another pair of capris in the sales.

    I can think of a few boardsies who would want something food related. Must be a hunger thing with runners.

    Only back from an injury and the only thing I want for Christmass is some degree of fitness!

    However if that is not possible and its not looking too likely :rolleyes: then a voucher from a good running shop would be nice!

    Do wiggle have good sales after christmas, would it be worth asking santa for money & then buying in Janurary. I need to get a few bits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,525 ✭✭✭✭Krusty_Clown


    Last year I got a food processor. This year, I've already ordered the Petzl head torch, as much of my training for Barcelona will be at night, in the dark. Wiggle - they have all of my money.

    garmin 310xt for me... Hopefully

    I've spent a ridiculous amount of money on wiggle this year, looked at my account about a month ago and was disgusted. I pretty much have everything I need at the moment so won't be getting any new running gear or books. Might ask for an FA Cup ticket/flights to Edinburgh or something instead.

    I have requested socks - not the multipacks from pennies but expensive, twin layer, anti-blister, breathable socks!!! I know they don't totally prevent blisters but they limit the damage and my footsies deserve them :rolleyes: or at least that's what I told my stepdad when he asked for suggestions!

    You beat me to it :p

    A pair of lungs the size of a small caravan or some new gear.. Failing that all donations to the impending wedding fund will be greatly appreciated :D

    A lie in.

    OH refuses to buy me running gear as a present. It's gotta be wiggle vouchers from anyone else though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 593 ✭✭✭toomuchdetail


    In any order , one of the following :A new knee -left or right not fussy;Turbo Trainer -that costs less that my 98 saab;a pair of b*lls for cycling;A triathlon suit thats really means XL when its on.</p>

    That'd be a nice one.

    All I want for Christmas is my PhD. Giving a revised, and hopefully acceptable version to supervisor next thur/fri. It will be my birthday on the thur so getting this done will be literally all my Christmas's coming at once!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,219 ✭✭✭cojomo2


    a treadmill- for when the weather sucks...you can get a decent one for about 600-700 euro if you do your research(i.e don't go near the likes of Argos) ..it would be a very generous present tho!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 472 ✭✭Magnet


    Dear Santa,
    Ive been a good girl most of the year so can I please have my MOJO back?
    I promise not to abuse it or take it for granted again!
    I`ll have some Strawberry Maxi-Milk out for you and some bananas for the Reindeers to keep their energy levels up...
    Thanks

    Hmmm, I'm pretty set, although if you do want to get me something I'll have a pair of compression tights. I wouldn't mind a pair of carbon wheels for my bike too....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,365 ✭✭✭hunnymonster


    no wonder we were always finding reindeer poo in our gardens if you feed them banana's in Galway. Reindeers eat carrots in Dundalk.

    I already know that I'll find a foam roller under the tree, but I've also asked for a surprise <time machine, time machine, he thinks hopefully, to claim back those wasted years>:rolleyes:
