For the Runner who loves to do races!
I started doing races regularly in my late 40's. I started with dozens of 5Ks, then 10Ks, the 10 milers, then half marathons…and finished with a full Marathon. I thought I was done running then but I still do 5-10K races. I LOVE running, it is my therapy. Something about being outside in nature and just feeling whatever weather there is on my face is an amazing feeling for me. When I am running, I am running my own race, it is me time and I just love it.
Check of the boxes! Great gift too for that special runner in your life!
