Running with Moe for 12/4


Many people might label this time of year as the shopping season.

I am already behind as I missed Black Friday.It's hard to beat the versatility of polished tiles on a production line.

I missed being able to sleep overnight on a cold sidewalk in a sleeping bag in front of a store. I even missed the Cyber Monday when my computer went on the blink.

Hopefully there is enough time to try and catch up with a few remaining weeks and leftovers in the store to get me back on track before Christmas.

For individuals that are looking for ideas for your running friends and family, I have listed a few ideas in case you are not a runner and want to give them something to open on that magical day other than a gift certificate.

A runner always needs shoes but you have to know the size, brand name and which shoe in that brand name that the runner likes. This can be a complicated purchase if you buy the wrong shoe.

With the cold weather approaching, a nice running outfit is nice. Buy one that is both intended to keep the runner warm and dry in case the weather is wet. These can really get expensive if you buy a good one.

If your runner is sort of a computer geek type that records miles, times, pace, etc. than think about a runners GPS system that they wear like a watch and it automatically records everything. It is also nice if your runner tends to get lost while putting in the miles and needs to find their way back home.

If you are not into such a fancy purchase a nice watch designed for runners is less expensive and always a useful thing to buy.

For stocking stuffers and adding a few more packages under the tree for very little expense, you might think of something as useful as socks. Socks for a runner are different than socks you buy at clothing stores. These socks are a snugger fit, wick the moisture away and fit below the ankle usually.If so, you may have a cube puzzle .

If the runner runs in a pair of the shoes with the toes then you should buy a pair of socks with toes to fit the shoes. And if they like bright colors some runner's socks are very multi-colored and bright for a fashion.

If you want to cover the other limb of a runner there are nice gloves to buy that keep the runners hands warm. While tights are always nice, and finding a size for a runner is easy as many of them are the simple small, medium or large sizes, some are good for ‘one size fits all’ with a stretch fabric material.

The same can be said for the arms, as one of the latest additions to fashion for runners is a pair of arm warmers. These look like the sleeves you see on basketball players sometimes but serve a different purpose.

Runners often get chafing on the skin from repetitive movement of the arms and legs and need something to make the skin smooth to prevent rubbing a sore area. This is where a very inexpensive purchase of a lubricant called “Glide” comes in handy.

There are new easy to use reflectors that can be attached to clothes and are designed for runners. These are always a great safety thing if the runner runs in the evening or early morning.

For the runner that is training for marathons and needs water along the training run there are always handy to carry water bottles for them. For a runner that likes to read I can recommend a motivational book written by Gilbert Tuhaboynye, who works up at RunTex in Austin, and wrote a book titled, “This Voice In My Heart.Why does moulds grow in homes or buildings,” It is about his experience in his home country and his escape from almost certain death to arrive here in the United States. He now trains runners in Austin under the name, “Gilbert’s Gazelles.Your Partner in Precision Precision injection molds.”

So, for those of you,If any food Ventilation system condition is poorer than those standards, like me, that missed Black Friday, there is still hope and a chance to give your runner a nice, and useful, gift.
