Sisterhood of the Decorating T-Shirts!

The goal with team t-shirts was to have them to walk in the Race for the Cure 5K on 11/1. Our T-Shirt guy moved his shop last month and his new place wasn't wired correctly so he had to fly some repairman from Atlanta to rewire his dryer. Needless to say, he got behind on his orders so the shirts weren't ready for this weekend. We'd wanted to decorate/personalize our shirts anyway. I bought some green shirts from Michaels and we all contributed crafty materials. Sadly, the bedazzler hid itself but we still had many fine decorations to work with. Laura, Mylinh, Amy and I got together last night and had some fun making some pretty amazing shirts!









Since this is the second time this year that Laura, Mylinh and I have gotten together to make shirts for an athletic event, her husband has nicknamed us the "Sisterhood of the Decorating T-Shirts." I love it! And I can't wait to wear them tomorrow. I'm so excited for the 5K. We have to get up at the crack of dawn early--at least tomorrow is when our clocks fall back an hour so we'll get a little more sleep. I'll post pics of the 5k tomorrow!

Whew! What a crazy couple of months!

I can't believe how long it's been since I've blogged. It's almost overwhelming! Training got pretty intense in August and September, and I was pretty much sick the entire month of October (not exaggerating). I'm worried about the impact of taking a whole month off of training so close to the event. But I'll do what I can and enjoy the walk no matter how much of it I walk versus riding the sweeper van! Quite happily, I've raised all the money and have even started my 2010 account. Kim raised the minimum, too, and is generously putting her excess donations into my 2010 fund!

The walk is less than three weeks away! I will try to post some photos from the time I wasn't able to blog but I will at least stay up to date from this point on. Tomorrow's the Race for the Cure 5K and I cannot wait to experience that. You should see our Team Jil shirts!
