OT: A question for the runners
Not workout related, but I have a question. I think it might be a weird question too. My daughter has officially run 100 miles this school year. She is so proud of her accomplishment and so am I. I'm looking for a way to commemorate it for her that doesn't involve food because my first thought was "this calls for a trip to get ice cream"! She is 8, which I know is young, but I really want to encourage her to keep running. She says she really loves it and that it makes her feel like she is flying.
I don't love running, but I am working on it slowly so we can do more events together since she is so young. We did the "color me rad" 5K a few weeks ago.
So I want to know if you have an idea. How do runners celebrate their accomplishments?

I'm impressed! She deserves a treat! My dd loves a pedicure, that would work for tired feet. I'm an old lady, and new to running, so a new pair of shoes makes my day.

If you want to foster her running habit, and she is into it, give her something running related - but make it cool. A new MP3 player, or some neato earphones. Running socks, shoes, maybe? Cute workout clothes?
I would still get her something not workout related as well - she is 8 - and I would get her something fun she always wanted... a toy, some techie thing... something she enjoys that is not food related.

A GPS watch to track her progress. I use a Garmin. You can store and view activities from the watch on their free website. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=83280&pvID=102351
How do we celebrate our accomplishments?
Bananas!
Tshirts!
BLING!
The finishers bling is what a lot of us are about. I'll do about any race just for the medal. In fact I have said I won't do the Disney Princess Half because I don't want a tiarra medal, and my dream medal is an IM and The Marine Corps Marathon.
Find a Local awards shop and have her a medal made.
