Christmas Presents

[Danjo]

My parents got me some Injinji socks, which I wasn't even expecting! I guess they went to a running store, looking at minimal stuff (they don't actually know the terms or brands, but they understand that I like to wear as little shoe as possible), and they were trying to find some toe socks for me to wear with my huaraches. The people at the running store recommended the Injinji's. When I opened the present with them, I was very pleasantly surprised, and said "Hey, you got the brand I would have told you to get!"



So what running related presents did everyone else get?

Neither for running, but barefoot kind of related. Paper feet are great for a purist. They roll up in your pocket. So you can bust them out for pesky store owners. They are the most minimal product I have found thus far that are also very easy to stash. Daniel Howell I like because he has similar feelings regarding shoes as I do.

I got a Forerunner 305 GPS... finally. A bit late to the party on the whole GPS watch thing, I know. I was running with a Nike + before.

I ran with it for the first time yesterday, and it was AWESOME! My runs will never be the same!

Running tights and a nice insulated water bottle. Its been so cold here that the tights will probably get used sooner than the bottle.

We need to have a group RunAmoc trail run. Since Barefoot Mary lives in Boulder, I vote she hosts it

I got a Nathan waistpack for a water bottle and gu so I don't have to carry my camelback on shorter runs. And sort of running related, a waterproof pack for my ipod so that when I run to the beach (once it warms up a bit) I can jump in the ocean and do some swimming. This is probably going to cause me to be late to work way to often next summer.

season pass to x-dog events, so I'll probably be doing most or all of their events in 2011. I will be looking for rides to almost all of them, so if anybody lives in the Portland area, is going to one of these events, and wants some company or gas money for the trip, let me know.

also got a double-walled glass and SEALABLE coffee jar, which will be nice to drink from in the freezing parking lot before all those events.

 Awesome mother-in-law sent

Awesome mother-in-law sent us a fat check for Christmas and we finally used it - caught a Vitamix 5200 on sale at the local Costco. Wow, I love this thing. I think I've upped my vegetable and fruit consumption by 50% over the last day and a half . . .
