Running On Lightning Bolts

You saw it here first. I just approved the art design for our Blackhawk Boys Spring Season 2010 t-shirt. I submitted the winning design from our T-Shirt Design Contest to the printer who then "translated" the art work it into our shirt.

Drum roll, please...




Another awesome shirt! Can't wait until Thursday to show it to them. Hope everyone is having a great day, enjoying this hot weather!

Trifecta of Wrongness

I don't have a real post today, just some random thoughts that, when put together, masquerade as a post. Some people have names for these types of posts *. I haven't come up with a good one yet. Live with it. **

Last night while enjoying my post-run stretch and foam roller session at the Y, my eyes wandered to the wall above the mat area where they have a set of laminated fitness posters. I'm guessing the Y puts these up for instructional purposes, rather than entertainment value. Creative girl that I am, however, I managed to garner a good 15 minutes of entertainment out of these puppies. As I lay there stretching and foam rollering, I tried to imagine what what the designers of these posters must have been thinking when they felt the need to incorporate invisible clothes into their poster design. Perhaps there were multiple designers who disagreed on the clothing issue. Invisible clothing seems like a good compromise... Perhaps "marketing" advised them that body builders are generally not smart enough to identify muscle groups without a common reference point. On and on these thoughts went, so that by the time I left there last night, I was in a pretty good mood. Thank you, YWCA!

As you may know, I started a Boys On The Run program at a local elementary school because it just doesn't seem fair to only have Girls On The Run. Our Spring Season was delayed 3 weeks due to Snowpacolypse. Apparently, the boys have had no exercise at all during this time and have been existing on diets of sugar and caffeine. I'm happy to report that the boys now know how toplay Black Jack, and there was only one injury report filed.

This week... Craps! No, we'll be voting on our season T-Shirt design. It's one of my favorite things about BOTR. With all the rush to get the designs to the printer, I'm not expecting many boys to turn in a design. We'll see. Here's what my son is turning in:

* Nitmos, Vanilla, Viper, sRod (you know who you are)

** Or...Come up with a good name and I'll give you credit. I promise.
