Expert  795    New Mexico |  Subject: New toys for ChristmasSounds like there are some new bikes out there. What did everybody get? My wife gave me four Benjamins to put towards a bike purchase, and advised that a Polar heart rate monitor is on its way. My parents gave me a copy of Swim, Bike, Run. |

Champion 19812  MA | Subject: RE: New toys for Christmas From one of my sons I got a new Terry Butterfly saddle and a new bike computer Cat Eye Astrale 8 is on the way. I tried out my new saddle tonight while watching TV with my kids. Oh man...it makes such a difference...wow it is much more comfortable. My other son bought me a new MP3 player that is so tiny and can hold up to 16 hours of music (in case I excercise that long he told me..is he an optimist or what). It is a Creative muVo N200. My oldest daugther Emily who is 10 bought me two different water bottle holders. One tradtional one and then one that holds two water bottles behind my seat. My husband can't figure out if I can use it since it attaches to a seatpost which I don't have since I ride a Softride. My kids have a paper route and saved and bought all the gifts with the money they earned. They all wanted to help their Mom be better and enjoy excercising more. How cool is that!! Back in late October my husband bought me my new Softride which was an all inclusive gift. |

Extreme Veteran 365 Winnipegosis | Subject: RE: New toys for Christmas I made out like a bandit this year, too. Mp3 player, some great reflective running pants/tights and jacket, a training log, the book Chi Running, and some power gels to try on those long runs. Guess I have no excuse now not to get off my lazy @ss and jog off some of that turkey. Edited by Shrike 2004-12-26 8:11 AM |

Elite Veteran 748 northern Illinois | Subject: RE: New toys for Christmas Let's see.... *A gift certificate to I-tunes so I can update my music collection for training. *DH got me a new earpiece for my Mp3 player, mostly because it worries him that the earphones I have block out too much of the street sounds and it's not safe. So, it was kind of a sweet "please be safe" present. *swim goggles with my vision-correction, also from DH. He loves his. *Triathlete magazine -which seems pretty intimidating, actually! * some workout clothes I think I'm forgetting some things. There were other "healthy-type" presents, like a George Foreman grill. These are related to triathlons, but in a kind of roundabout way. OH!!!! And the best one!!! My " I train with my friends at beginnertriathlete.com" shirt came on Christmas Eve. I put it under the tree. Thanks, Ron! Andrea |
