Kevin, Jenny, Chuck and I are talking about running the 2010 Cooper River Bridge Run together. This is so special to me as I have fond memories of my first and only bridge run, with Jenny, in 2008. (Want to see how far Kevin has come? Check out his comment on that post!)
I’m going to design the T-shirt. But I need help with what to put on it.
Kevin and Jenny are my siblings, Chuck is my brother-in-law (Jenny’s husband.)
Here’s what I know: They have to be clever on the back. I loved having something to read on the backs of all the people in front of me in the last race!
We may or may not need to add to our outfits, among other things, Kevin’s awesome beer helmet and my blue wig from the Terrapin race we ran in April. So this could just be a team shirt or it could be part of a whole costume.
So far all I have thought of is this:
On my shirt: “If you see my siblings ahead, tell them Mom called and said they have to wait for me.”
Or Kevin’s could say something like “I train so I can beat my sisters.”
But we need a team name (our family name is Davis), and we need lots of cleverness. And if we can make Chuck and Kevin wear pink, even better (just kidding. not really.)
We need cleverness!
Ooh this sounds like fun! Do I get a shirt? Oh, and I want to run too! I’ll try to think of something witty and fun.

Or something similar since I’m no Davis

Of course!
Kevin just offered these witty sayings: We could put “If found treat with beer” “Crap, the guy wearing a beer helmet just passed me”
I’m liking it!
We’re going to “get over it” (the bridge!) in 2010, too! It will be my fourth time (second running… the first two were walks), Josh’s second, and my dad’s… 12th, I think. We’re trying to talk Bo and Nikki into coming, too. So exciting that we’ll know more people there this year!
I *love* the idea for you brother’s shirt. I’ll think of some team name ideas and get back to you…
Actually, let’s do pink!! The guys can rock the pink too, I don’t think they’ll mind…right Kev?
Can you do each shirt differently? How about “Davis kid #1,” Davis kid #2,” etc. Simple and fun.
or maybe “Where are your siblings today? Mine are a mile ahead.”
YAY!!! I’m so excited! Kev just told me about it! I love the idea of Kev’s pink shirt saying “I train to beat my sisters” I’m going to help you think of something.
My mom and best friend Brandi are running to, and maybe my husband Ryan!!!
I love all the ideas!! Thanks guys! Justin, *I* need the one about my siblings being a mile ahead – they can smoke me! Did I tell you about the time Jenny beat me and Kevin in a 5K – and she was 5 months pregnant?
I like “Team Davis” Number 1&2 for your dad and mom, your moms line can read “Run Support” if she isnt running then 3, 4, 5 for the siblings, with the lines you like. Then “Team Davis “Token Sibling” # 6,7,8 however many you have.. but Ryan’s line should be, “Im running to stay ahead of my Father in law!” That would be hilarious! All in the same color shirt, that way you look like a small army running the race. People will learn to look for the shirts and read them. I actually sped up one time to read a shirt. If you do it right you will be the hit of the race! Clem
