Today I ran a half marathon with my sister. It was wonderful. The course was absolutely beautiful! I have run many races before, but this is the first one I've done with my sister and it was one of the best. She's never been a "runner" before and this is the longest distance she's ever gone. She did so great and I'm so proud of her!
Of course we had to have matching t-shirts. So, we made them with my Silhouette machine. (I forgot to tell you, I got a Silhouette and I'm so excited about it!!!) I have a feeling I could spend many hours playing around with it. It was surprisingly really easy to figure out and the t shirts ended up looking pretty professional.
During the last mile of the race we passed a small antique shop (we ran through the middle of a small downtown area). Although I was tempted, I did not stop and shop but I did do a little window shopping. As we ran by, I jokingly said to this mirror "I'm coming back for you!" I never pass up an opportunity to look for a good deal. Since it was so close to where the race ended, I did go back for it and want to know the best part?!? It was $5!! I have big plans for this guy.

did you make those sweet shirts w/ your new toy??? Can't believe you found an antique store during your run...wait yes I can believe it!
great shirts and great story! I think it is awesome that you and your sister did this together!
oh my gosh!! my sister has been begging me like crazy to run with her. I told her I only run when Im being chased! She did the Nike Womens 1/2 marathon in San Francisco last year. shes a running nut!! she has a blog too www.teamgiles.com (just dont tell her your sister ran with you or she'll make me do it) LOL
And this is why I love your blog. Anyone who will slow down for a antique store in the middle of a race is "of my tribe".
That's so funny! Love the t-shirts!
Congrats on finishing another race! I recently ran my first half... and I am hooked! Can't wait to see what you do with the mirror!
