gifts for a runner who has it all...
I have Christmas gifts picked out for EVERYONE, expect my father. He's the hardest person to shop for.
He's a hardcore runner (as in 50+ miles per week, marathons, muliple running clubs, AG titles etc). He owns a garmin and has plenty of workout clothes. He doesn't run with an ipod.
Any ideas of someting running related I can buy him?? I'm looking to spend up to $75.
Right now, I was thinking a personalized gym bag filled with glide, gatorade, gels, etc.

Re: gifts for a runner who has it all...
I'm assuming he subscribes to Runner's World? Maybe that if he does not - I'm sure he does though!!
I think your idea is great - I can never have enough body glide, gels, etc...and the gels are expensive, so if you got him 20, that's over $20 right there.
It's so tough, it sounds like he has it all. He must be some athlete!!

You could get him a GC to one of the running stores that helps you choose the right running shoes. If he runs a lot, he probably goes through shoes pretty fast.

Maybe sign him up and pay for some races?

Does he belong to a gym? What about paying up a couple of months for him?

I say a gift certificate to where he buys his running sneakers as well. Runners always always need new sneakers!

If you don't want to just do a gc, you could get him that and combine it with other running stuff like the gels and stuff. That way it would feel more personal?
