So, I was givena nice crisp $100 bill for my birthday Whoo! Not sure how to spend it, but some ideas are:
road shoes (instead of my mtb's)
a jersey ( something cool instead of my nerdy one)
running shoes (bf wants to train for his 1st 5k-I'm his new partner)
or
a food processor
What would you do?

I would find some decent shoes, most of my running shoes have been around $60 and try to find a jersey on sale.
BTW- Team Estrogen is still having the Pi Sale.

Nah, I was old on the 17th, but the $100 dollar bill is on my pinboard at home, taunting me with the possibilities.

Depending on how much running you are going to do I would go with the running shoes. Running is pretty hard on the body, a lot of force goes through your legs and of course your feet. I don't know if you have any foot issues ( neuromas, over pronation, etc) but you dont want to skimp on the shoes. IMOH

If I had the willpower, I would wait until the after Christmas sales.

I agree with Solobiker and Grits. Running shoes are incredibly important in keeping your body in good working order. Replacing knee cartilage is way more expensive than $100. Figure out exactly what you're looking for and then buy it cheap online, maybe at the Christmas sales.
(Which if you're listening to the media are happening early this year because retailers are all scared...)
