It’s Tuesday and in just 5 short days, we will be honoring Mom’s all over the world! Don’t Forget Your Runner Mom’s this Sunday!! Back on March 26th, I wrote a blog post called Top 10 Mother’s Day Running Gifts which contained some of my favorite running gear and gift ideas for the running mom in your life. Today, I want to revise that list just slightly and share a couple of resources that should make your Mother’s Day gifting efforts a little easier.

The Original Top 10 List

Garmin GPS Watch (w/ or w/out heart rate monitor) New Plushy and Yummy Socks Paid Race Entry Road ID Running Gear – The WindBreaker Running Sunglasses New Running Shoes A Therapeutic Massage Breakfast in Bed and the Opportunity to Sleep in A Guilt Free and No Strings Attached Run or Running Buddy

Recent Product Reviews and Sideline Additions to the Top 10 List

As mentioned in my original blog post Top 10 Mother’s Day Running Gifts, the products and gear listed on the Top 10 list are all things that I run with currently or have had in the past. In addition, I’ve recently tried a couple new products out (and no I’m not sponsored or endorsed by the companies I’m going to mention) and have pleased, with my new discoveries.

The first product and addition to the list are compression socks by a company called Pro Compression. I’ve run in compression socks and used compression socks for recovery for several years now and started with a couple of brands – Skins compression socks, and CEP compression socks. Both worked great and I wouldn’t say I one brand over the other.

However, I had seen an ad with some new fun and funky designs that was rolling around on Facebook and my girlfriend and I thought it would be fun to go in on the deal together and split them. I even ordered an additional pair for my other good running friend for recovery after her first marathon. She described them as being a “hug” for her legs. Divine!

Of course there are other physiological benefits to wearing compression socks to promote circulation and prevent pooling of blood in the lower extremities as well.

Goodr Sunglasses Review

I also recently stumbled upon a somewhat young or developing running sunglasses company called Goodr. You may or may not have seen me sporting them in a few of my Instagram feeds. Let me tell you, I couldn’t be more stoked to discover an affordable and in my opinion maybe a bit more stylish pair of running sunglasses.

I’m not going to dump my old favorite Oakleys by any means, but the nice thing about the Goodr sunglasses is if I drop them and scratch them, or lose them, at only $25-$30 bucks a pop I won’t cry like a toddler. Not to mention, I can buy a few pairs and keep them around more conveniently – i.e. a pair to leave in my car, a pair in my purse or at home, etc.





I will also say, if you or the Mom in your life is a wine drinker, you gotta love the name of the pair linked above – “OG Wine Pour”!

YouTube video Top 10 List

I will try and post a YouTube video later this week of the products listed and My Top 10 Mother’s Day Running Gifts, and show you some of them in person. Or at least thru a video. So stay tuned for that. But for now Don’t Forget Your Runner Mom’s this Sunday!! And share this post to throw your friends a bone so no one forgets to honor the special runner mom’s in their lives.
