What to Get a Health Nut!

I have a friend, a really good friend, who is a running nut. His wife used to be a couch potato but you know how that goes, either he becomes a 'spud' or she gets up off her duff and 'aerobicizes'. Don't go looking for that one in Webster's! I have a feeling she'll be trading in her Sketcher's for Nike's real soon. The point I'm getting to is that they (she) just had a bouncy baby and she wants to get her 'girl' curves back and lose her mommy curves. Here comes the Nike's! lol I'm going to take the high road and get them a gift that they can share as well as use together as one big happy family. I'm going to get them a stroller, but not just any stroller. I'm getting them one made for running, or fast walking, that won't succumb to the effects of hard use. I looked them up generally and then I smartened up and got specific to weed out the gimmick junk and I got a few real results. The best of the strollers I found was something called a Bob stroller. I've seen these on the streets of Boston and more often in Newton, Mass (yuppy, preppy area). I figure if these people will buy an affordable stroller instead of a Primo Ikea Run-isimo Stroller-O for $1000, there has to be something to it. I hate to say it but they were right and I know my friends are going to appreciate this, not to mention the fact they can use it with an infant adapter. This thing even has brakes, air filled tires and a 5 year warranty.
