GREAT gift... I totally agree that is an experience that is worth the expense. I'm pretty seriously considering making 2010 a similar racing strategy, no racing that require hotel stays. You seem to have some cool local races, that helps! Your indoor track practices are a great gift. GREAT gift… I totally agree that is an experience that is worth the expense.

It's part of the reason why I have not done a ton of them this year, and if I did do some, I made sure that they were local. No trips that required an overnight stay. And yes, it'd be awesome if someone could give us the race entrant fee as a gift! The experience my husband gave me last year and is again doing this year is agreeing that I should do indoor track for the winter. Last year I only got one or two small presents from him and I was totally fine with that. Because the track practices were the gift that kept on giving, if you know what I mean. Great post, Jill.

I'm thinking a smelling salts version would be useful too! LOL... too funny! I love the quick-spray version and the guilt-on-your-dashboard version.

LOVE! And I think yours is a great idea. Last year, my parents gave me the entry fee for one of my Tri's and it made a huge difference. I spend (almost) all my spare money on race fees so getting them as a gift would be the most perfect gift :) What a great idea Jill! I love gift certificates! LOVE! And I think yours is a great idea.

I certainly don't need any more stuff. I would certainly never forget being given an Incredible Run! :) I think this is a great idea! I certainly don’t need any more stuff.
