enfuego23 knows me well! She got me a beautiful Half Buff, a Starbuck's gift card, and Salted Caramel Gu--my favorite!! THANK YOU! I can't wait to use the Half Buff this winter. Of course, I love all things Salted Caramel, and I go to Starbucks at least twice/week (hot tea addict)!
I am your elf. I figured you would like Picky Bars, and I'm glad you like the book too! It seems most of H&F seems to like Hyperbole and a Half. I wish her running story was in the book. If you haven't read it, you should:
Who sent this goodness to me?? I love hyperbole and a half- she's hysterical. And I may have already devoured the picky bars.
Thank you thank you thank you!

Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
labbie is the best!! My package arrived while we were gone for the holidays, but I opened it when we got home today. I am already wearing my new balegas. I love everything:)
The pupster also wanted to share my holiday yumminess.
clseale is an awesome elf! I got some delicious local goodies- some yummy hoppy local brews, dark chocolate covered oreos, an ultramarathon book and some cozy flip top mittens for running. Thank you so much, I love everything. It was so warm here on Christmas Eve, I enjoyed the brews outside on our front porch!
I got the H&F warm fuzzies when I received my secret santa gift this weekend!
My SS was such a fun one this year. She asked me a few questions via Elfster and then left me this final clue:
"1. I threw in something extra leftover from my last marathon that I cant stomach anymore 2. As a newish mom, There are some days where I survive on something else coming your way."
Eeekkkk....I was so excited to get it! She wrapped everything up, which was awesome!
I received:
Coffee (I'm guessing that's from clue #2) Amazing chocolates GU (I'm guessing that's from clue #1) Balega socks (my abosolute favorite) Sweatyband (can't wait to try this, I've heard such great things about them).
Thank you so much to my thoughtful and generous SS! My guess for who my SS is @kirkette. I wonder if that's right?! Thank you again, SS!

Nope. It was me! Glad you like it!
Hannah! Thank you!! I really liked the way you did SS with the secret questions and then giving me clues - that was really fun.

Yay! I'm glad the other package arrived, and that you enjoyed your goodies. You are very welcome! I had a lot of fun shopping for you. I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
Thanks so much @sessalee for my warm socks and cookies. They look awesome and I can't wait to wear them. No more having to double up on socks. I didn't manage to get a picture.
Cookies were really yummy too. It's so odd. I have no idea when they delivered the package, but I woke up the day after xmas and left the house at a 7AM. It was sitting right in front of the door. So they either delivered it late xmas evening (like after 8PM) or early boxing day (before 7AM).
Update: Ran in them this morning and they were so toasty. LOVE!

I got the rest of my gift from mollyrunner. She sent me an awesome holiday card with her family on it and a starbucks gift card! Yummy! Thank you sooo much!!!
mrsjthompson, thank you thank you thank you! I am squeeing like a nut over my Believe training journal (I have a little bit of a girl crush on Lauren Fleshman), can't wait to bust out my new polish (maybe if I'd get off the computer and finish cleaning I'd have time to paint my nails before dinner), and the buttered rum cupcakes are amaaaaazing! I've already had one and am eyeing the other.
So glad you love it and everything got there in one piece! Those cupcakes were a big hit around these parts this year.

Guys I must have the most thoughtful elf ever! And what awesome luck that she's one of the local H&Fers that I've actually met before! I can't wait to give this new fuel a try on long runs this spring-- I've heard great things about honey stinger chews and am excited to try a new flavor of shot bloks! She sent an awesome Brooks (my faaavorite brand ever) beanie that will definitely get some road time soon this winter.
And totally surprise icing on the cake -- check out the screen name inspired ornament! gt7301b you are awesome! Thank you!! (Heart)

I got mine from Susie!!! It's almost like she knows my three favorite running things. She also included her super adorable Christmas card full of puppies that my kids now want.

I'm glad I'm not the only slacker elf! I've had it wrapped and ready to go since before Christmas, but haven't been able to get to the post office. Today is the day, I promise!
I found an awesome delivery when I got home tonight. The massage ball will be great, and the notepad is beyond funny. (Can you read it, everyone?)
The Oatmeal is hilarious, and my H actually confiscated the book to read as soon as I showed it to him. Maybe he will now understand my crazy runner brain better? I will enjoy all of this. Happy New Year to you!

jamalynn thank you so much for the Target gift card - it will definitely be put to good use today! I've got my eye on a new base layer since the temperatures are supposed to plummet this week. Thank you thank you!!
USPS says my elf's package should arrive on Monday. Fingers crossed that she likes it!
