runner first ...

Over the past year, G and I have done some crazy things for the love of the run. We push through when others would stop. We sacrifice other things in our lives to make the run happen (usually sleep and free time). And on occasion, we have let our passion for running guide our decision making. Thus, we have come to coin the phrase, "Runner first. Logical thinker second."

It started as a joke, but more and more each day, I realize how accurately that phrase describes us. I'm not saying we make stupid decisions. We don't. We listen to our bodies and try our best to stay safe at all times. But, there are moments when I question our sanity.

So, when Megan at BuildASign.com offered to let me design an item of my choosing. I almost instantly knew that our catchphrase needed to be incorporated. And since I'm not above a little free advertisement, I also wanted to include my coaching business name as well.

Eventually, after much indecision on my part, I came up with this design ...


I love it. It's simple and sharp. And it looks really good on the back of my truck.

Now, thanks to Megan and BuildASign.com, I have a few extra stickers to share. So, if you consider yourself a RUNNER FIRST or if you just love me and want to advertise my coaching services, shoot me an email with your mailing address to racingwithbabes@yahoo.com. I will send the first 25 people a sticker. And who knows, you might even get a handwritten note, which, if we are being honest, is priceless ...
