Runner Christmas Gift Guide 2012

December 5, 2012 | fitness, running

 

So I am sure you have seen 100 of these across the fitness blog world in the past couple of weeks, but everyone’s is a little different right? Plus, if you see some of the same stuff repeated then you know it must be a great product! So, here is what I think you should be asking Santa for for Christmas!

1.) RunningSkirts.Com Red Candy Stripe Running Skirt

It’s no secret I love runningskirts.com skirts. I have worn them for pretty much every single race I have ever run. So comfy, cute, functional (side pockets with velcro!) and girly! They always have amazing prints and come out with new ones twice a year. The have the running skirt style with panty briefs underneath, and athletic skirt with compression shorts underneath.

 

2.) Oakley Women TwentySix.2 Sunglasses

These sunglasses are stylish while still being girly, all while staying on your face! Who says sunglasses you run or workout in can’t be cute? They came with a great case as well, so you don’t have to worry about breaking them. (I MAY or may not be having a giveaway next week….be sure to come back!)

 

3.) Under Armour: Armour Bra

I am hosting a giveaway for this bra right now! But if you don’t win, be sure to still add it to your Christmas list. It has great support, removable pads, mesh for ventilation, and is modest enough to wear alone. Love it!

 

4.) Running on the Wall medal display

Great customer service, great prices, and super cute medal and bib displays! Many colors to choose from and great motivational quotes as well. I was very pleased with the product and the service and would buy from them again when I run out of room!

 

5.) GO Sport ID

Guys, this is so important. You should always, ALWAYS wear your information on you when you are running, you just never know what can happen and it’s better to be safe than sorry. Being the color coordinated person I am, I love the Go Sport ID Inspire with the bundle pack so you can change out the colors! This would make a great gift or stocking stuffer.

 

6.) Garmin Forerunner 10

Not gonna lie, I have been eyeing this bad boy up for awhile. My garmin is almost four years old and has been through a lot, and it isn’t working so well anymore. Plus, it’s big and bulky. This one is more feminine and it’s PINK! I must have it.

 

7.) Gone for a Run decorative pillow

How cute is this? They have a ton of different ones (and other great runner gifts as well!) Good prices and great customer service to boot.

 

8.) Raw Threads shirts

I have yet to pick one up for myself but I droll over them at every expo I go to. Raw Threads has THE cutest shirts, made of the softest material. I particularly like their princess/castle inspired collection, and have my eyes on this one:

Adorable. Must. Have. Be sure to check out all their other awesome merchandise!

    Like you said, it’s so fun to see what everyone loves. These are such great items but different from other guides I’ve seen. I have my fingers crossed for a pair those Oakley’s.

    Great list!! I’d add any short from “One More Mile” onto the list – I love all the funny sayings and the material is great (nope, I don’t work/know anyone in the company. Just really like it).

    Your list is actually really different from every other list I’ve seen — most list a Garmin, but the sunglasses, GO ID and such are all unique. Thanks for sharing some DIFFERENT ideas! 🙂

    I bought my husband the Garmin 10 (in black, not pink, lol) for his birthday. He loves it! Glad you mentioned the Oakley sunglasses. I never liked traditional Oakleys but I like the look of those! Going on my Christmas list for sure– I can’t run without sunglasses!

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
