Runner's Gift List

Can you believe it's already the holiday season (well, almost)?! With Thanksgiving upon us next week, it'll be December before we know it!

Last year, I had no clue what I wanted for Christmas. I was pregnant, my brain was mush (well, it felt like it anyway), and I had no clue what to get for everyone else let alone what to ask for myself! This year however, I've got it down! I always include a few running themed items on my gift list each year and this year is no exception!

I'm prepared this time around! Keep reading below for a sneak peak at my 2016 Christmas wish list!

Garmin Forerunner 230/235

 

I've been in need of a new fitness tracker since..well, a long time. I even purchased one several years back but returned it because I didn't care for it.

This one is still a toss up, though. I'm debating between the 230 and the 235. As far as I can tell, the only difference is that one tracks your heart rate without an extra strap. I also am in love with the really cute wristband colors!

Anyone have one or the other and love it? I'd love to know your opinion!

BOB Single Handlebar Console

 
On Black Friday last year, I made my first baby purchase...a BOB Jogging Stroller. When Brayden hit the 6 month mark last month, I was granted permission from the pediatrician to finally give it a spin (with Brayden inside, of course)!

One item that wasn't included with the stroller itself is a handlebar console to store keys/water bottles/and my phone. All necessary for carrying along on a run, of course! This is definitely a must for my Christmas list!

Mizuno Wave Inspire 13


As a runner, I go through several pairs of shoes each year...especially once the fall training season kicks into high gear!

I've been a faithful Mizuno wearer for years and a pair of the latest Wave Inspires are always on my Christmas wish list.

Aren't these so pretty?! I just love the color of the Wave Inspire 13's!

Planner

No, I'm not joining the planning craze here...I am just in need of a planner that can help me better organize my life. The iPhone has worked for dates and appointments but I would love to have a place to better organize my schedule, especially when it comes to blogging and life extras.

The Erin Condren Life Planner is in consideration, but I haven't fully decided if that's "too much" of a planner for what I need. I've also dug through a few I found at Hobby Lobby that were super cute as well as a the Create 365 collection at Michaels.

Aaah...decisions decisions! We will see what Santa decides to bring! :)


(None of the above links are affiliate links, by the way...and I didn't receive any of the above items for free. They are truly all items that are included on my Christmas list this year!)

Any thoughts on any of the items I listed above? Anything you've tried that I should stay away from?


Today, I joined up with these ladies for a Tuesdays on the Run link up! Thanks for stopping by! :)

  1. Love my cup holder for my bob. I put my keys in the middle and cups/food in the cup holders. It also came in really handy in Disney!

  2. I have my Christmas list set, but I'm thinking about a running belt for my birthday. I can go about 4 miles without water, but need some help carrying a water bottle for anything more than 4.

  3. I use EC for the blog (sort of, on & off, & like it), and the Believe Training Journal for my running -- and all sorts of other stuff too (like where we ate on vacation).

    Love them both.

  4. Great list. If you use a HR monitor, I would go for the 235, otherwise the 230 should be good. I love my Mizunos too!

  5. I just purchased the 235 a few months ago. I couldn't wait to add it to my Christmas wish list. I really love it. And I think you are right the only is the HR.

  6. We have the BOB console and I don't know what I'd do without it. Make sure you get the one that comes with the handy tire pump. There's a convenient pouch in the console for it.

  7. Use Wordsworth Planner to organize your life. It can help you like a personal coach.
