For the fourth year in a row, the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans is super excited to share with you our Holiday Gift Guide for the Runner. Now, before all you non-runners ask, you do not have to be a runner to enjoy these products- ANYONE can use them. I just happen to be a runner and I happen to think these products would be awesome for all runners, BUT they would be awesome for ANYONE. Check out the list- I think you will agree.
Let me remind all of you, especially the first timers to our site, while I love these products personally, I even love it more that I get to GIVEAWAY EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT on this list to you, our community. Yes, we are giving away ever single thing you see listed in this guide.
I feel like Santa Claus.
