my wish list

Since this is a running blog, I'll start my wish list with what I will be needing (and am fancying) because of this vice.

Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor
  1. another pair of running shoes. because my adizero needs company. and i need a spare as i'll be doing more mileage than usual.  the adidas supernova adapt looks good.
  2. a garmin. haven't i lusted over this long enough?
  3. and the accessories of course:
    • hydration beltFuelBelt Helium 2 Bottle Belt, Black, Medium 
    • visor Halo Visor, White 
    • headband SweatVac Headband - Black
    • socks ASICS Women's Sorbtek Double Tab Low Cut Running Sock (3-Pack) (Assorted,Medium) 
    • track jacket adidas Women's France Track Top (Dark Navy, XLarge) 
    • duffel bag to put all those stuff in. Gregory Long Haul Duffle Bag (Lava Red,Small)
Now outside running, here's what I hope to receive:
Samsonite Women's Xspace 21.5" Expandable Spinner, Mars Red, One Size
Crescent Moon Hoop Earrings Post Sterling Silver
  1. suitcase.maybe i'm over my backpack days. uhm, nah, i guess i just can't pack light on some trips. preferably in easy-to-spot-on-luggage-carousel colors (e.g., red, orange, or green).
  2. silver earrings. studs or small hoops. because i'm low-key like that.
  3. sunblock. because we've got lots of sun on this side of the world. 
  4. scents. from lotions to body sprays. nothing too strong. i like fragrances reminding me of cucumbers, seas, and someone just fresh from the shower. bath & body works is nice.
  5. spa/salon gift certificate. someone who's been working too hard deserves lotsa pampering.
  6. a vacation. hello relatives from san pablo and sg, hello friends from leyte and dumaguete! i need a sponsor for board and lodging. fare, too. :)
  7. gym membership. ha! who'd have thought i would want to be in one. i just love the outdoors. but now with all these threats of typhoon and all, i realized how convenient gyms can be.
  8. wallet. mine is getting too shabby. something in some funky color so it won't get lost in the mess inside my bag. you can also include cash. =)
     
  9. kindle. Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite - Latest Generation
  10. discovery channel magazine subscription.
  11. jackets in denim or just something i can use to cover up when i'm too dressed-up for a jeepney or trike commute. these look cute:
That's all for now folks. Now don't tell me I didn't give you a clue what I want for Christmas.Or as pasalubong when you dear relatives abroad come over for a vacation. Hehe.

      Registered for my first 21k!

      Oh dear God, help!  I have finally registered for my first 21k. Where else...but through the streets and colors of Cebu this January 9!


      Aaack, just the thought of it makes me uneasy and anxious (think 10 times the worry when preparing for a major job interview). I need all the luck I can get. Training, too. But I just learned I need a tooth extracted soon so  that's missing a lot of training days. Boo hoo.

      What's Grander Than...

      What's grander than finally convincing my brother to regularly lace up and run?

      When he has become so enthused in the activity that he keeps me updated of his weekly mileage (and I can't help but compare it to mine).  Maybe I'll lag way behind him in the next race; maybe he'll look so lean the next time I see him that I'll think I was the couch potato. I start to worry.

      Now I've got another reason to continue pounding the pavement.

      And they say worrying is bad for you.
