Gift ideas for your favorite joggler
The good folks over at Complete Running have put together a list of 25 gift ideas for a runner (or joggler).
I think the following are pretty good.
1. Body Glide: We wrote about this in a previous chafing post.
4. Magnetic Runner Night Light: Good for joggling in the dark.
6. Lock laces. My shoelaces do come undone on occasion.
7. Warm Gloves
8. Warm Socks
13. Snot Spot Wiper: Good idea, although I’m not sure how good it will be on the Gballz.
14. Snacks
23. Sport wash
That’s all that I’d want. To this list I would add some joggling specific items.
26. A set of 3 Premier Gballz bean bags (Red, Sassy, & Baltic Blue).
27. The Mathematics of Juggling
28. Video camera: For taping your best juggling routines.
29. Jim Kweskin
Any jugglers or runners have more to add?

Oh Yeah, video camera is on the top of my list!
It needs to be lightweight though. I think it would be fun to run a marathon with a video camera.
Biggest problem you will have running a marathon with a camera is running out of tape/storage. 3+ hours without changing a tape is probably an issue. A nother idea would be strapping a digital camera to you some how and having it set to take a photo every 10 seconds or so. That would be 1200-1400 photos, something maybe doable on the larger Storage cards, or swaping a card in the middle of a marathon wouldn’t be that hard. Somewhere I saw a “Video” of someone driving across the country that did something similar. Photo every min or two for the whole trip. Edited into a 10 min video.
I have a copy of the mathmatics of juggling. A warning for any one getting it is that it is VERY math intensive. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and some of it was over my head. My Physics PHD father however greatly enjoied it.
brian, thanks for the tip about the book. I like juggling and math but I more along the lines of paulos than any real heady math. good tip about the video camera too. someday I’ll figure that out.
