Present for DH for finishing Mini?
I'm so proud of Rob! He's been training for the mini and looking forward to running it next weekend. In fact, he hates it when I tell people this, but he's lost 40 pounds! Of course, the real accomplishment isn't about the weight- I'm just so proud of his dedication, hard work and persistance- even through part time school and full time work!
Anyway, I wanted to get him a little present after finishing the mini and was wondering if you guys had any ideas. He's going to continue to train (perhaps for a full marathon), but I'm leary about buying him running "stuff" 'cause that is very personal. I don't want to get a gift card either, 'cause that seems so impersonal. Inspire me, ladies!
PS... let me know if you're running the mini- me and the dogs will be out cheering him on and can cheer you on, too!
Re: Present for DH for finishing Mini?
What about a post-race sport/deep muscle massage?
my H is training for the mini too! i got him a runner's water bottle from the running company. its like a reverse fanny pack thing that holds the bottle on a belt that rests in the small of his back and it doesnt bounce and its really comfy and easy to use while running he said. (~$20)
another thing ben likes now that he is becoming a "real runner" (so he says) is the nice running shirts that are really breathable. he got a couple from ***'s and he loves them. (~$25-40)
another thing ben wants eventually is the nike shoe attachment that, while ur running, tells u thru ur ipod headphones how far you've gone and such (~30). it only works with the ipod nano...
tell him good luck and maybe i'll see you near the finish line!
I am running the mini too and these are on my wish list.
New shoes - if he bought them at the running company they keep that on file
the iPod shoe thing and the Laces carrier for it _ since I don't run in Nike's
new playlist of songs to run to
better running shirts to train in
new underwear to run in - sportsbra for me - but I don't know what he wears to run in
by the way my DH would never think to get me a gift for running it - you are such a good wife!!!!!
I'm running the mini too. This is my third time. Here's what i want when I'm done... Cheeseburger and French Fries. I try to eat healthy, but I usually splurge after a race. Just the thought of it keeps me going the last couple of miles. Does that sound sad to anyone else!?!
A massage sounds good too.
i think ben and i are going out for pancakes when he finishes so he can replenish all the carbs he just used up
good luck to everyone running!
