As the cold sets in and the Holiday decorations are hung, I start to look around the store for all the goodies I want to put on my holiday wish list. I know it’s unreasonable to expect I’ll find all of them underneath my Christmas tree, but that’s why they call it a wish list! Here’s my top ten for the season, in no particular order:
1. Brooks Adrenaline 10: Ok, so this technically shouldn’t be on my wish list, because I already bought them. Monday’s my birthday and–as an early gift to myself from myself–I bought some new Adrenalines. I’m very excited to get them on the road, as I wore the Adrenaline 9s in the San
Francisco Marathon and my feet were truly happy.
2. Special Long Sleeve Running T-shirt Crew by Moving Comfort: I think this would fit nicely into my cool-weather running wardrobe. The fabric is brushed for softness and there are thumbholes–something I look for in my winter layers.
3. Women’s Power Stretch Glove by Mountain Hardwear: I might not need these for running in San Francisco. After all, it
never gets too cold. But these would be ideal for strolling around town with a warm cup of cocoa in hand and shopping bags in tow.
4. Chamois Half Zip Running Shirt by Nike: If I could choose any half zip top this season
, this would be the one. A nice choice for running on cold San Francisco mornings, it boasts a kangaroo pouch in the front with a hidden key pocket inside. Plus, it comes in this great violet color!
5. Jasmine Hoodie Jacket by Prana: When this hoodie came into our San Francisco store, we all immedia
tely noticed the eye-catching henna screen print on the back. It comes in black and winter white and is a great wrap for lounging or taking a walk to the farmer’s market in Noe Valley on a Saturday morning.
6. Spibelt Running Packet by Overton: Just about everyone here at See Jane Run owns one of these great running pouches–everyone but me, that is! The Spibelt expands to hold a
cell phone, ipod, keys, and more. I think it’s about time I invested in one as I choose my next event and get back into the training spirit!
7. Nolan Hat by Pistil: Again, this hat shouldn’t be on my wish list, as I already own it! Pistil has such a great selection of cute winter hats that also keep you warm. I had a
hard time choosing, but this one fit the bill.
8. Alexis Printed Sports Bra by Moving Comfort: Who says a sports bra has to be bland? This Moving Comfort bra gives you the best of both worlds: functionality and fashion!
9. Sportband by Nike: I’m just beginning to learn about all the running gadgets that are available, and I’m especially excited about the prospect of knowing how far I’ve run without having to map out my run online. The Nike Sportband works with the Nike+ technology (transmitted through a sensor in your shoe) and gives you information about your distance, time, pace and calories burned. And you can
easily upload your workouts to your computer and the Nike+ online community. Pretty cool.
10. Coffee Quote Mug by See Jane Run: I had to include a See Jane Run specialtiy item! Besides, it’s the perfect stocking stuffer and ideal for my post-run hot chocolate!

What’s on your wish list? Happy Holidays from See Jane Run!
