Exciting!!  I’m in!

I would love to win this contest because I’m the kind of girl who goes ALL THE WAY (but only when it comes to running) those shirts have me written all over them! AHHH!

JT | December 07, 2009

need to win, because my running buddy needs a great gift and because i keep making fun of her for singing “i’m delicious” (ala fergie) out loud at the mile 8 water station of the la jolla half.

I have no style, but I have class.  Did I win?

Ms.V | December 07, 2009

I would LOVE a new running shirt and a new CD to listen to while I run.

Wait, what’s that?  It’s NOT a CD??  Oh well, I can write funny notes to all my runner friends on it then.

I should win it because I support my cousin JT in all of her runs (and she sent me here… actually she is transcribing this and typing for me while sitting in my living room.)

I would like the Wit Tee because I am a fan of the witty myself.

I’m cooped up in a college dorm room. Sending mail has become my second sanity-saver (next to running).  Face it - if I don’t get these cards, I’ll probably lose my mind before the second semester rolls around.

And we wouldn’t want that, would we? :)

Sara | December 07, 2009

I should win this gift because I’m a former runner that has been recently inspired to run again, and I need a fantastic tee to run super-fast in!

Julie | December 07, 2009

Because I don’t win races but I would like to see how it feels to win (an off and Running CD notecard tin that is).

Rebecca | December 08, 2009

I should win because if people see me (someone overweight and running) wearing that shirt, then see me later looking awesome in that shirt, they’ll think it’s the shirt (people are easily led, look at McDonald’s ads) and it’ll mean more business for Remanents. 

I should also win to prove that fat people can be runners, too, and if I pick the right design, the jiggling thing can be incorporated into the t-shirt design.  It’ll make fat people get off the couch.

Since I am responding to this on work time (don’t tell), I figured that I had better use a very well formulated argument.  I am a worthy candidate for the following reasons:

-  While it seems that a lot of the T-Shirts are sized for females, not only am I sometimes called girly by my friends, but I also know a lot of female runners.  With Christmas approaching, a fun reminder that Marathoners ARE better in the long run would be well received.
-  As a marathoner and a traveling consultant who is on the road 4-5 days a week, I am always looking for a fun way to keep in touch.  I can only assume that running note cards, sent weekly to my wife, will serve as a sufficient deterrent/reminder to her that I can run MUCH faster than the mailman, pool boy, or the cable guy.
-  Since I am always making excuses why I can’t go to the happy hour after work (have to get up too early to run), I could use the note cards as drinking IOUs.  “Long Distance Friend: Sorry, I couldn’t be there for beers.  This card redeemable for 3 beers consumed by me.  (Note must be night proceeding recovery day.)”
-  Finally, since I hear my boss coming around the corner: gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie. :)

Adam: I am Boring | December 08, 2009

I want to win because not only are these things smart, sharp and uber-kewl, but after spending a year rehabbing from a car accident and hearing my doctor voice his doubts that I’d be able to run much anymore (ha, joke is so on him), I’m ready for my mighty, mighty comeback.

2009 was all about rehab. And, as is the case with most endurance athletes, rehab is a terrible, foreign mindset, a strange, uncharted “baby steps” approach that makes us feel weak and frustrated. I finally got myself to cooperate and work hard without taking on too much at once by dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of the mega-comeback I have ahead.

Just last week, I got on the treadmill and ran! Mind you, it was a short run, hardly the marathon lengths I did before the accident, but, with earbuds in place, just the right music thumping and jumping, and all of the strong-turned-wonky body parts feeling strong and together again, everything worked, nay, sang, and I ran and it felt so wonderful I wanted to cartwheel and glad-cry and give a fist-pump and hug my treadmill neighbor all at once.

By running again, I can see and feel that my comeback to running is shaping up to be a mighty one, with stronger muscles and a more-determined-than-ever will fueling it. And, let’s face it, a lady needs the right kewl gear for a mighty comeback.

I ran 26.2 if a freaken tutu…if that doesn’t say style I don’t know what does! Also I’m BTTMFW everytime…just sayin’

Tara Miller | December 10, 2009

PS:  I’m also going to need a rockin’ tee to wear while I’m pound the treadmill.  ~Sigh~  I HATE Central IL winter’s…
