My wife is a serious long-distance runner and her birthday is coming up. She is already outfitted with shoes & shirts, a Garmin 305, a camel back, and a subscription to the relevant magazines. Is there any item that you, as a fellow long-distance runner, would recommend as a great gift? Thanks!

Yesterday (Thursday) I did a pretty long run (7 miles out and back over pretty large hill in an hour and fifteen minutes). Tomorrow (Saturday) I'm running a 10k race in Santa Monica. Thursday's run wouldn't have been that big of a deal, except for the fact I had to borrow cotton socks (Champion brand from Costco) from my father as I forgot to pack my synthetic running socks. Now that gave quarter sized blisters on the front part of the arch of each foot. They're right behind the "ball". Also, during the run I the blisters popped and outer skin rubbed off. So, both feet have circles where the top layer (layers?) of skin is gone. [more inside]

I started running 2 - 3 weeks ago and I run around 3 miles every second day. So for the past week, I've had this sort of "pain" or somekind of uncomfortable feeling above my knee. The "pain" is not in the knee itself, but maybe in muscle above it? When I'm laying in bed or sitting it feels the same way. It doesn't hurt, but its just a little bit uncomfortable. Its kinda like a feeling of someone is squeezing a muscle just above my knee. Should I be worried and go to a doctor or is this normal, when you havnt done any exercise for 8 years and just started? I'm 22 and male btw.

If keeping sweat and hair out of my face while running is my only consideration, would it be better to cut my hair short, or to let it grow out and wear it in a ponytail? [more inside]
