All I Want for Christmas

I screwed up this year.  In the past, I've posted a list of running related needs and poof, like magic, they appear under the tree.  Thankfully, Santa S reads my blog and has really come through.

I think Santa is done shopping, but I thought you might like to know my top three wishes for Christmas (besides world peace).

1.  I have so many running skirts, and shirts, and hats...but my favorite winter skirt/pant combo is the Tough Girl skirt from Skirt Sports.  Sadly, the Celebration Print is not on sale for $36 like a few of the other patterns are.  These are perfect for a long run in 30 degree temps, so cozy and warm.

This Ocean Play print is on sale.  It's just not my favorite.
2.  A new, honest to goodness, lap swimming, big girl I am a swimmer Speedo swimsuit.


I already have a swim cap and goggles.  Now that I've been to the pool four whole times (and have worked my way up to 750 yards), I know I am committed to continue with this cross training.  Us swimmers need the right gear, ya know.

3.  Wyoming.  Or Minnesota.  Or North Dakota and South Dakota (together, on the same weekend). These are the next four (unpaid for) half marathon states on my radar.  Race entries or airfare, I'm not too picky, Santa.

Wyoming - Medicine Bow Half - May 26, 2013
North Dakota - Thunderbird Half - no 2013 info yet

South Dakota - Leading Ladies - no 2013 info yet
Minnesota - Women Rock - August 31, 2013

What's on your Christmas list?

Weirdly, I don't have running things on my Christmas list this year - I have enough stuff (right now, anyway). Can you tell we finally got a running store in town? I've shopped to my heart's content. :)

Knitting items are all over my list. Who would have thought I'd get excited over yarn? Yes I am a freak, haha.

Btw, on the swimsuit, I had several suits destroyed by the chlorine (Speedo included), until a fellow swimmer told me to buy polyester suits. They last. I'll send you a link to what worked for me since you and I have a similar busty shape.

I think that the only running thing I have under the tree this year a box of GU, (from my kids) it's the right size, shape, and weight. It would be funny if it was.

If I could have a magical gift of race fees for a year ... that would be AWESOME!

Would love to see some GU, itunes gift card, new ear buds, a massage stick, or glide in my stocking!

I don't know why I never thought to ask for race entries or airfare for Christmas. That's a great idea.

Love your list, especially #3. I hope that Santa saw it in time. :-)

I like the idea of asking for a race/race entry type gift. Last year I wanted a lot of swimming stuff. Do you have a wet bag to put your wet stuff in? I didn't ask for it but best gift ever.

Hm, I have a friend to visit in WY...

LOVE my tough girl combo too, been wearing it a lot in this nasty weather.
