Roadrunners SWAG

Where are the t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats for RRKC? We are getting ready to swag you all over the place! 

We will be announcing orders for hats, headbands and visors soon. But before we go crazy, we wanted to give you a heads up because we are going to do t-shirts, tanks and sweatshirts differently than we have in the past.

So you can choose clothing that fits YOU with material YOU like, we are going to collect items that you purchase on your own. We can do this for shirts, tanks and sweatshirts ONLY. Notice there is a color qualification. T-shirts and tanks must be in light grey and sweatshirts must be in white. It's a bulk order/logo thing...believe me I've asked! 

One other thing...to keep the costs down, we need at least 24 tanks/tshirts for screen print. So if we are under, it may cost us a bit more per item. I will let you know BEFORE we print if that is the case. There is no minimum for the sweatshirts. 

Items are due to Coach Amy by Saturday morning, June 17th. 

For tshirts/tanks screen printing:

  • purchase your favorite race singlet, tank top, or t-shirt in light grey. 
  • submit your article(s) of clothing to Coach Amy with $20 per item by due date

For sweatshirts: 

  • purchase your favorite sweatshirt in white  
  • submit your sweatshirt(s) to Coach Amy with $12 per item by due date

 

Battling Self Doubt

/

Today while running up a really long steep hill in the Ozarks in 98% humidity I asked myself, "If it's this hard and hurts this bad, how in the heck I am going to be able to run a half marathon in the Utah desert at elevation?"

We've all had these moments of self doubt. So what do we do when this negative talk starts?

We answer the question. And the answer is this: If it was easy and you could do it now, then what are you training for? It shouldn't be easy now. If it were easy to run 26.2 miles in the heat and humidity of a Kansas summer, then you wouldn't need to train for Chicago, or Philly or Pike's Peak Ascent or the Kansas City marathon or (fill in the blank). 

Just remember, training is that period of time that you are practicing, challenging the body to undergo changes, preparing for an event and reward at the end. It is going to take a lot of workouts and some of them, probably many, will feel bad. It's normal! 

You CAN do this and when you DO, you WILL be successful.
