sporty shirts
April 30, 2010
Now that I’ve completed the Half-Marathon, I’m ready to buy a whole bunch of running shirts. Because I’m sporty, ya know. I’ve gotta show off my athleticism.
Ha!
So I’m thinking of filling my wardrobe with shirts that say things like:
13.1 miles. Been there. Run that.
If it weren’t for me, you’d have nobody to pass.
You think I run funny? Wait till you see me walk tomorrow!
I’m only doing this so I can post a picture on Facebook.
This seemed like a good idea 3 months ago.
Does this shirt make my butt look fast?
And I’d add one of my own to the list:
I’m working mine off so I can kick yours later.
Got any to add?
your little addition is my personal favorite
I would totally buy it!!
@nateonamission says:
OH MY WORD! I love yours the best! So great!
WOW!! next step to the Full on Marathon!!! :)
I have some great ones, but these ones that you have written have left me stumped! I will return later if I have a great quote to give!
@gritandglory says:
a full marathon is sooooooo not gonna happen! ha!
LOL That gave me a great laugh to end my work day!
@christielici0us says:
You should totally sell yours to one of the shirt companies! It’s as clever as any of the other ones you mentioned!
My favorite one is “This seemed like a good idea 3 months ago.” ha ha
Okay, I know these aren’t great, but it’s what came to mind:
Lookin’ good, Mr. Ko-tayr!
Fueled by Starbucks.
Last one across the finish line, turn out the lights.
Gotta go, my fan club’s waiting for me at the end.
Trained by Lance.
If you can read this, you’re still alive.
This is what my word of the year, RISK, looks like.
Just Done It.
What’s Thrive Africa? Ask me at the finish line.
In my mind, I’m SOUTH AFRICAN. :)
Now I know I’ll be thinking about the rest of this afternoon…… (and I agree, yours is one of the best!)
@gritandglory says:
you are SO creative, lisa! love your list!!!
i think “fueled by starbucks” is my favorite!
@persimmonpulp says:
yep – yours is by far the best. Can I get that as a workout shirt? ‘Cause I’d totally buy it (and even wear it!)
@traceepersiko says:
The dear Lord, please let there be someone behind me to read this, was good.
What about:
the only passing i’ll be doing is passing out.
@PrudyChick says:
Love the Kenyan one.
Those cracked me up! And if I ever become a runner, I’ll totally buy one with YOUR idea on it! :)
@danielleH says:
funny! there are some good ones here too: http://www.mymottoz.com/
i have the one that says “live out loud”. i want “suck it up” and “will run for chocolate”
@traceepersiko says:
Steph says- a race shirt should say, ” I’m running from you.”
@gritandglory says:
iLike!
Hilarious…I LOVE SPORTY.
I’ll have to be thinking on some to add to the list…Hmmmm….
@gritandglory says:
i’ve discovered that i love the idea of sporty more than i actually love sporty.
“This IS my race pace.” Love it!
Running my second half marathon on Sunday. During my first one, in pouring rain, I got hypothermia. So, this next race will be automatically a million times better.
@gritandglory says:
how did it go???
It was a GREAT race day. I beat my previous race’s time by 27 minutes! Of course, I wasn’t battling hypothermia and a hip injury this time, and I strategized my water intake a lot better so I didn’t have to stop at a portapotty on the course, but still, I felt really good about my time!
@gritandglory says:
way to shave 27 minutes off your time – that’s incredible!
Those are pretty funny.
Ken ran a half marathon simply because he’s an extrovert has no ability to say no, even to run races he hasn’t trained for.
@gritandglory says:
what!? seriously?! and he RAN it!?!? (pisses me off, but i’ll keep that to myself! ha!)
wish i could’ve pulled that off too!
;)
He had a little ramp up time, but not what is recommended for training. So, I think he had run up to 7 miles at a time before doing it. He’s one of those people who can just pick up any instrument, run any race, do whatever…. it’s so annoying, and sexy all at the same time. :)
Some of my favorites include…
I kick assphalt!!
Sorry, got to run.
If I collapse call XXX-XXXX
I’ve got the runs.
Front: We Upped Our Standards So….
Back: UP YOURS!
“I thought you said this was 2.62 miles!”
A marathon is just a 10K with a 20 mile warm-up.
@gritandglory says:
ohhhhh! i like “i kick assphalt!” ha!
@XCWATERBOY says:
My cross country team in high school had a running joke that “chicks dig endurance” After I graduated they made t shirts and wore them around school. They were promptly asked to not wear them. Girls on the team promptly made shirts that said “Chicks DO dig endurance.
Nice.
here’s mine…
“I could be running much faster if I didn’t have to tote this chip in my shoe”
“Why didn’t I just the car? I could have won!”
Those were hilarious! I have nothing to contribute, but thanks for the laugh! :)
I love the “In my dreams, i’m a Kenyan.” Every time I go to a pre-race expo, I’m tempted to buy it. Did you get one?
@gritandglory says:
i didn’t get one…
someday…
Love your slogan! Can’t imagine running. Have thought of it, but yeah…..
I will bike, rollerblade, swim…. got to keep up with my boys!
I LOVE those!!!!
i once made the mistake of running a marathon in a shirt with “john 10:10″ on the back. this is a mistake because the verse is kind of long…. by the end, people would ask what it said. i could only get through “the thief comes to kill steal and destroy…” but i was having trouble getting to the end where jesus says, “but i have come that you might have life, and life to the full!” a few people passed me thinking i must like some depressing bible verses!
