Holiday Health & Fitness Wish List

It’s the time of year when my mother sends me an email asking what I want for Christmas and all I really want is a vacation down south with my family but instead I’ll make a blog worthy shopping wish list of amazing stuff I would love to have or already have but know you need to put on your list.

WANT

1. Swell Water Bottle – I have a problem with keeping water bottles clean. Let’s face it I’m a busy woman who has a gross water bottle collection. I love that the Swell bottoms screw off for better cleaning!

2. Bike Trainer – after I purchased a road bike this fall during sales season I can’t wait to get some good at home cardio in this winter. To make that happen I’ll need a bike trainer for my living room.

I found this one which is relatively inexpensive – Travel Trac but definitely open to other suggestions.

I’m so excited for Christmas and can’t wait to spoil my friends and family with love. Hopefully, Santa showers me with love too! Here is a list of things I’d love to help me with my run goals in 2014.

1. Compression Socks: I’m very unfamiliar with compression sock brands so I think I need to try CEP Recovery + Pro Socks and Zensah Compression Socks and figure out a winner.

2. Mizuno Breath Thermo Layered Tight: As much as I love my lulu tights from last season I need to up my winter running game this year. The breath thermo technology looks amazing and I can’t wait to see if they live up to their moisture-wicking promise.

3. Lululemon Run With Me Mittens or Zensah Running Gloves: I just love having touchpad fingers on my running gloves so I can work my Nike + app on runs. I end up wearing these daily anyway so I’ll need one pair for running and one for everyday use 😉

4. Mizuno Wave Rider 17: I trained and ran my first half marathon in wave rider 16s so I’m a bit obsessed with these and love them. I can’t wait to get my hands on a pair of the new 17s for next year’s race training goals.

5. Road ID Slim: I tend to always run with my phone but if it’s crushed in a crash or you can’t unlock it, it, therefore, doesn’t say anything about me should I get into an accident. So even though this is a morbid gift it’s something I need to start wearing for runs.

6. Mizuno Breath Thermo Wind Guard Gloves: I love winter running! I used Lululemon run gloves last winter with the touchpad fingers but found that I actually like to wear those every day so I can use my phone while standing waiting for the streetcar in the freezing cold. I need a hardcore pair of winter-run gloves and these look perfect!

7. Lululemon Toasty Tech Tights. I purchased these last year during boxing day sales and they have kept me so warm this winter. Lulu doesn’t seem to have them on their site yet so I eagerly anticipate their return.

8. Jawbone: Although I’ve tried my hand at wearing a heart rate monitor and a Nike fuel band they don’t “do it all”. I’ve recently started seeing posts and news about Jawbone. It’s a band & an app that promises to track your activity, eating & sleeping which are all three integral parts of great health.

If you’re a runner, what’s on your holiday running wish list this year?
