Thank You for your "Thank You's"!

It was invigorating to read through your posts "thanking" other runners that have helped you, supported you, and inspired you!  It was also cool to see the connection many of you have made virtually but that have a real impact on your running.

With the holiday week we were hopeful that we would have a handful or two of recommendations.   I guess our wishes carry some power because our thanksgiving wish more than came true!  We had nearly 50 runners nominated!    That left us with the tough job of narrowing down who would receive the gifts.  Notice I didn't say winners - because all the runners who took the time to say "thanks!" and n the runners who deserve "thanks"  -- are all winners.  

We felt like runners who received mulitple thanks should be on the top of the list.   And then we couldn't ignore some of the heart felt thanks listed - so we went back to our closet and found a few more gifts for runners.  Here are our picks for gifts:

• Viv (aka fivekviv) receives "The Complete Guide to Beginning Running", autographed by the author.  Viv was nominated by RooBabs, Marathondudebill1, and jmilceti.
• Lily (aka Laurel, Lilyontheroad) receives a Runners Lounge t-shirt.  Lily was nominated by xenia, marathondudebill, lilrunner25, piecesofme.
• MarathonDudebill (aka marathondudbebill1) receives a "The Runners Guide to the Meaning of Life", autographed by the author.   He was nominated by CoffeeBetsy, and cymrusteve.
• Betsy (aka CoffeeBetsy) receives a 26.2 license plate frame.  She was nominated by marathondudebill and SandyL.
• Nitmos receives a $15 Starbucks card.  He was nominated by bvccollins and jmilceti.
• RazZDoodle receives a $15 iTunes card. He was nominated by marathondudebill and jmilceti.
• Nancy receives "The Complete Guide to Beginning Running".  She was nominated by bvccollins and databasediva.
• Aron receives a SpiBelt.  She was nominated by lilrunner25 and melanie1300. 
• BostonJohn receives a Runners Lounge Tshirt for his support of amyhalleran.
• MemeDinah receives "The Runners Guide to the Meaning of Life" for her support of her daugher, opeapod.

Thank you for your support of the Lounge!  We appreciate the many notes in the forum as well as personal emails of "Thanks!".

Thank you, Amy and Tom! I will display my 26.2 frame with pride, but of course the best gifts of all were the kind words from Sandy and Bill.
