That’s right…we made some t-shirts. It is always a little more fun when you can get the crowd involved while running a race. I find the easiest way to do this is display your name right on the front of your shirt. It doesn’t even have to be your name either. During the Chicago Marathon I put “Happy Birthday Grandma Isabelle and Mom” (it was their birthday weekend) and all throughout the race I could here “Happy Birthday Grandma” being shouted from the crowd. Now, we did spice it up a little with The Running Couple logo. We wanted to make sure that we could be recognized by all of the followers from our social networks! Here is how we did it…
I will skip the desi
gn phase since it really didn’t take that long (we were on a tight deadline). I then called my favorite screen printer, Fort Worth Screen Printing. Not only does FWSP always give me a great price, they are always able to meet my short turnaround times. (If you haven’t figured it out yet, I am one heck of a procrastinator) Some shops are a little skeptical to prin
t on technical t-shirts, but FWSP assured me they could print on anything that was 100% polyester…enter Nike DriFIT. On the way over to the shop, I stopped by the Fort Worth Luke’s Locker location. Always happy to help, the staff at Luke’s hooked me up with a white long sleeve and short sleeve shirt for Isis and I. I dropped off the shirts and design at Fort Worth Screen Printing and had them in hand four days later. Let us know what you think!!!
