So pretty much a Christmas filled with all Mizuno gear would be the best Christmas ever. I’m always on the lookout for wish lists not only for myself, but for the whole family. Here are my top picks for this year.

Stocking Stuffers (Under $25)

Breath Thermo Headband  – $19.99 – When your head and your ears are cold it’s just not good. This headband not only has the cool running bird, but will keep your head warm for the cold winter runs.

Drylite Race Low Socks – $11.99- Low socks are the way to go for everyday wear and for running when you’ve got long pants on. I always go for black because they don’t show dirt as much. Keep your feet warm with these.

Under $75

Women’s Phoenix Shorts – $44.99 – The flowers on these super comfortable shorts make them even more stylish. They can easily transition from everyday shorts to running or racing shorts. They’re a weekly staple because the length is long enough to keep things covered, yet still be comfortable to run and be active in.

Women’s Featherweight ¾ Tight – $54.99- These are the perfect ¾ tights. They are supportive, yet comfortable. They even repel moisture which is always key when working up a sweat in cooler weather.

Under $100

Women’s Breath Thermo Double Knit Full-Zip Hoodie -$84.99-  This is cutest hoodie out there with a double layer front and Breath Thermo® technology. It even has thumb holes and a pony port to put your hair through. It’s simply the best in my opinion.

Over $100 (Even Santa will be jealous!)

Women’s Wave Sayonara 3 Shoes -$109.99- These shoes are light weight and perfect for those wanting less in their shoes or a fast racing shoe.  They’re my go to racing shoe and the shoes I like to use for speed work.

Women’s Wave Inspire 12 Shoes -$119.99- These are by far my favorite shoes of all time. The improvements on the new 12s make them even better than ever. They give just the right amount of support for the runner who pronates a bit without the added weight. They are both light and supportive at the same time. That’s not that easy to find.
