In case any of you out there are last minute Christmas shoppers like myself.
I mean, no, that wasn't me you saw out at the mall this morning at 8am... Must have been my evil twin.
Or in case the big Santa man is still listening, I have put together a list of things I wouldn't mind seeing under my tree this Christmas.
I mean, I already have my two front teeth and a hippopotamus wouldn't fit well in my apartment, so a girl has to come up with some other suggestions.

1. Knockout by Victorias Secret Capri
I don't know when it happened. I never really bought in to most of Victoria's Secret Sport line, thinking it was jost overhyped. But I bought a few of the sportsbras this summer and loved them and now this?
Besides being an awesome pattern and fabric, these leggings GLOW IN THE FREAKING DARK.
How can I not want to own these? I mean, you know, for their safety features. Because nothing screams "Hey cars! Don't hit me!" when you're on a night run like glow in the dark leggings from Victoria's Secret.

2. A new pair of Newton Fate's
I bought my first pair in July and while I was originally pretty hesitant, now I'm addicted.
The downside to that addiction? I've almost completely worn the tread off the bottom of them, specifically the lugs on the forefoot. But at $130 a pair, I haven't been so eager to jump out there and buy myself a new pair.
At least not until I know that Santa won't leave a pair for me shoved in to my stocking.

3. Tickets to Salt Lake City
(Or any major city close to the Grand Tetons)
I'm traveling to the Grand Tetons to run a half marathon with some of my favorite ladies in June and after we split expenses for everything else, the plane ticket will easily be the most expensive part of my trip.
I'm assuming Santa racks up some pretty serious frequent flier miles, so he can feel free to gift those to me. And since this will probably be my only big trip next summer, it would be awesome if this just got taken care or.
Southwest please, since bags fly free and I'll need to pack a lot of stuff there and souveniers back.

4. Free Race Entries
Says every runner in the history of ever...
I've been lucky enough to have been able to run a few races for "free" by volunteering and putting in some manual labor and I'm more than happy to keep doing that. I love volunteering. But if someone offered to pay my entries for 2015, that would be SUPER.
Also, I will wear your company logo if you want me to run your race. My butt is already a billboard essentially anyways. in 2015, I'm willing to look like a NASCAR.

5. A Pony
It's not exactly running related, but I've asked for a pony for Christmas every year since I can't even remember. One of these years, the old man finally has to come through on this right?
As long as I keep asking, there's still a hope.

So there it is. A few of the things that are topping my wish list. I'm not sure if I fall in to Santa's Naughty or Nice list, but it's been a hell of a year either way.
Hopefully you all get something you want for the holidays that helps you reach your fitness goals in 2015 or just makes you happy. I mean, let's be honest, having a pony won't make me a better runner. But it will still be the best present ever. Especially if it comes in an adorable sweater.
#runlove, y'all!
