I left my secret santa notes that I enjoy endurance sports (triathlons, marathons, etc) and gaming (I'm both incredibly active and amazingly lazy), and s/he sent me a thoughtful and amusing collection of gifts that made me smile.

In addition to a running headband (which I don't have a photo of because I already wore it for a holiday run bar crawl so it's currently in the hamper) along with the note "Sorry...I couldn't find you a green hat..." (because I absolutely love the Zelda series), I received blue, green, and red "potions" that were actually little candle jars.

The blue one read, "This air potion from Skyloft should give you just the edge you need to blast your old swim time out of the water!" I've posted in r/triathlon about how I really need to improve my swimming because it's my weakest of the three. :)

The green one read, "I had Luv whip up this Stamina Potion for you. If it can help Fledge do nearly 4,000 pushups, I'm sure it'll give your legs a boost when you run!"

The red one read, "Here's a Heart Potion to help you recover from your 'injury-plagued' season!" I've mentioned on reddit that I suffered from a few injury setbacks (Achilles tendinitis, hip flexor injury) that made my 2011 season frustrating. My secret santa did his/her homework!

Lastly, s/he wrote "Just in case the other 'potions' don't agree with your palate, here's a few that just might" and gave me six endurance gels to eat, something every endurance athlete needs! I go through tons each season so I'm so happy to get a few as a gift.

Thanks so much for such a thoughtful and sweet collection of gifts! It really put a smile on my face. You rock, Secret Santa!
