My parents were in Chicago last weekend and my mom and sister picked up this shirt for me. I’ll admit it…I’m spoiled.
It got me all excited for my upcoming Saturday, 16 miler along Chicago’s beautiful lakeshore. I needed the extra inspiration because I’ll probably be sporting a hangover, coupled with only a few short hours of sleep. (I haven’t seen my sister in 2 months, and I can guarantee that we will be living it up rockstar-style).
I don’t think this shirt is going to see much running, though. It’s too damn cute to risk it’s becoming another perpetually funky piece of workout gear. Wicking fabric does wonders to keep you dry on a run, but it works almost too well. It doesn’t even want to let the sweat go when you wash it. My well-earned, super-comfy, prized Akron marathon shirt lies crumpled in my drawer due to it’s way too noticeable stink. I will not let this one fall victim to the same fate.

You are a wonderwoman…running ONE mile, let alone 16 while “a hangover, coupled with only a few short hours of sleep” sounds impossible to me!
I have some *special* detergent on its way to my house . . . can’t remember the name of it, but it’s supposed to be divine.
They’re shipping me 4 bottles . . . if it works, do you want one?
I have a box out in my garage for those stanky nasty clothes that I just can’t seem to get my running stench out of . . .
Thanks, Kate. We’ll see how “possible” it is when I’m in the midst of it, but I’m trying to stay positive…
Naomi- Hope the half marathon training is going well. Let me know how the detergent works for you. I have super-sensitive skin and have to use the “free and clear” stuff, but if it really works it just might be worth the itching. Keep me posted and thanks for the offer.
