I am sorry I am leaving a comment, I can...Hi Matt,<br /><br />I am sorry I am leaving a comment, I can't find your email. I am writing you in the hopes that you want to participate in an e-book we are writing about ultra runners.<br /><br />We want to tap into the collective craziness (we mean that as a compliment:-)) of this community to challenge and inspire other non-runners to make their own life an ever-greater creative expression of their own goals and dreams… without limits.<br /><br />Progress so far: We have currently contacted more than 550 ultra runners and received more than 90 answers.<br /><br />We would ask you to answer a question about your experience with ultra running. Please note that these questions are related to your mental state and require that you are able to explain quite specifically what is going on mentally when running.<br /><br />If you'd like to participate please shoot me an email at dreamit@juliossol.com.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />All the best,<br />JannickJannick Kjaerhttp://juliossol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312353578184431665.post-22777450307998531532011-02-20T21:58:25.215-06:002011-02-20T21:58:25.215-06:00Over the course of our training together, mostly m...Over the course of our training together, mostly me chasing you, I have experienced the elements of that shirt…and I hope I am not too late, but given that all you have been through with that shirt, you cannot throw your shirt away. <br /> It has worked very hard for you and has never let you down. It was sad, when you chose to run without it, besides what else are you going to bring your baby home in…a blanket? Remember? Cora came home in an old pair of my lucky cycling shorts… and she loves her bike. <br />That shirt will someday be a tool, a reminder, and a lesson to your offspring. Keep the shirt, box frame it, use it as a post run wipe. Keep it in the family. Hell, name it!<br />Bobby “g”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312353578184431665.post-11124605823496015542010-06-20T22:07:11.216-05:002010-06-20T22:07:11.216-05:00I think I have the opposite problem.

I've noticed through your pictures that you have pretty much worn the same shirt. I like that. Its simple. You never have to worry about what to pack for a race. I've got two sleeveless shirts that are "staple" shirts for me, that I also wear in the winter under layers. But I've got several short sleeved shirts about 4 singlets, and 3 different thicknesses of long sleeved. It gets complicated. So, I've weeded out some of what I've had and given them to new runners as a token of encouragement. But in your case, with the raunchiness that may be lying within the weave of your fabric, I'd either keep it in your garage if it has sentimental value (your wife might be happy with this) or simply toss it. (win-win for your wife).Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869464951629779765noreply@blogger.com
