Encouragement
- Please encourage every runner you meet/come across or that you are running with.

Running Music
- I think gift certificates for music specifically made for running is a fantastic gift. They can pick the songs they want and the speed to match their stride rate/cadence themselves. Check out http://bit.ly/HS-Gift The right music can really make workouts better, and can take the dread out of winter treadmill running.

afrobeast
- In my experience, the best gift a runner can give or receive is an encouraging wave or a smiling nod while crossing another panting runner.

running shoes
- My husband gave me my first pair of "real" running shoes last year. Before that, I was running in a pair of very old tennis shoes that were not good for running. Wearing a good pair of running shoes made such a difference in my comfort and motivation levels!

massage!
- I love to get massages, especially after a really long run or race, but I hate to spend money on them. So it's great when someone gives me a gift certificate for a sports massage. I don't feel quite so guilty indulging myself.
