X-mas gift for runner guy

First you need to learn how to ask the folks of Letsrun!

A powerpoint presentation and a picture of yourself is in short order-

Does he have "The Stick"? It is a massage stick thingy that a lot of runners swear by. It would be a thoughtful yet inexpensive gift that he would probably use repeatedly. They have them at your local running shop...

You can't go wrong with running books...like Kenny Moore's new book the men of oregon, once a runner, anything by arthur lydiard or john l. parker. Look for biographies of Frank Shorter, pre, snell, etc. Just go on Amazon see what you find and post the titles for approval- stay away from runners world and galloway.

Or if he can't read just get him beer.

A guy I'm seeing is really into me and is already talking gifts for the holidays after 3 1/2 weeks and I don't know what to get him. Any ideas? He's pretty into running and is really good. Normally I'd ask his friends but I don't know them yet and I know he is into this website, so he will probably like whatever you like. Thank you for helping me.

Enter him into a road race as a gift.

Whatever you get him, make sure it's better than a 40 dollar pair of pearl earings. That's what he is getting you.

Very funny reply! Just finished reading the other "gift" thread.

"kat' give him "kat"!

You could use it too......while he is out on a run!!...

is he a banker? get him some deposit slips. he'll like that :-)

If he has an ipod you could buy him an ipod sports armband for running. Nike do nice armbands for the nano in grey and black.

Alternatively you could get him a gift voucher for a sports massage.

The massage stick someone else has mentioned is a very good idea too.

Alternatively get him some nice running kit (e.g. a nice top).

Some nice running kit?

WTF is wrong with you?

bump, still looking for help?

is this lori

porno... it's the gift that keeps giving even after you've quit

give him powerpoint so he can break it off later when you put on 20lbs

Nothing running related. Runners are normal people too. I have pretty much everything running related I want. If my wife were on here asking, I would hope you guys would recommend other stuff.

Both better options than anything running related.

Go to REI or any outdoors/running store and look around...you will see PLENTY he would like:

For example-

- good quality headlamp for running in the dark

- gift certificate for a new pair of running shoes

- if you live somewhere cold, get him a cool winter running hat and/or nice winter running gloves with wind protection

- a nice running vest or long sleeve coolmax shirt is great

- a nice pair of running sunglasses - oakley, smith, etc.

- several pair of coolmax sox

This is the best idea so far..
