1. Kim and I were originally planning on wearing our Half Fanatic shirts last Saturday at the Run For The Roses Half Marathon. Unfortunately, I didn't have one yet and the Half Fanatic store was under construction. I ordered one as soon as it opened back up and guess what was in my mailbox when I came home Saturday after the race? I love it. I'm thinking I'm going to wear it for race #4 at RNR Seattle. It will be my official 4 Moon Fanatic Race so it seems fitting. What do you think?
2. Race #2 of 4 is Saturday. I'll be running the Helvetia Half Marathon in Hillsboro, Oregon. I've heard stories of more hills. I checked out the course info and the good part is that it looks like after Mile 8 it gets better. We'll see about that.
3. I forgot to add that even though I finished 83rd out of 95 people at the Run For The Roses, I managed to chick 3 guys. Two of them were younger than me. It's the small victories that count :)

Good luck on Saturday, and congrats on chicking the younger boys!
I'd wear the shirt for sure.
You are so pretty! you are doing awesome!! go girl!
That shirt fits you perfectly. Dang that we couldn't wear them on Saturday (although we did look stellar anyway!)
Nice work on chicking the boys!
Good luck on your weekend race
That shirt looks great on you. My Half Fanatic singlet is too big on me.
I don't know that I'm that crazy yet....shhhh there might be a 50K in my future next year about this time....shhh.
Maybe I will see you at Helvetia on Saturday! My plan is to give it all I have after the hills...we shall see how that goes! Sounds like there needed a bit more planning by the race directors...yikes on the lack of fluids! The signs are great!
I think wearing the shirt will be perfect! Sorry it came later than you'd hoped.
Congratulations on chicking! I want to experience that just once so I can see what it feels like. Oh, wait, that would require me passing someone. Ha!
You should get a "You've Been Chicked" sticker! Contact me if you want one - free, of course:

Way to chick!!! I did it in my last race and was so psyched!!!
I love the shirt...you've earned it....wear it with pride!!!
Great shirt! Sounds like RnR is the perfect race to debut it. GOod luck at the half this weekend!
Great photo! Your shirt looks like a perfect fit.
You were one of 95 people who choose to get up off their butts that day! WoooHooo! Huge victories!
Love the half fanatic shirt! I have yet to wear my new singlet (I'm a mere 1 moon).
Good luck this weekend!!!!!!!!
I was 90th out of 95th in my first half last year, one that sucked as much as yours did! Hills, sun, heat. My learning -- don't sign up for such small half-marathons!
Good for you for soldiering through.
Lovely shirt! I say wear it - then I can know what I'm looking for in a couple weeks in the midst of all those people!
And heck yes you should be proud of your Run for the Roses - beating anyone younger than you (especially boys) on something that crazy is awesome!!
