FREE RACE SHIRTS - 9 on the 9th

It's time for free race shirts, people. Did you think I had forgotten??

9 on the 9th Sweetheart Shuffle* is coming up fast and there's a fresh new crop of pacers and free shirts to decorate your blog (and some old Man Steak favorites). You could also order any of these that you like at Zazzle or anywhere else that makes custom shirts. Feel free to use the logo (made for us by the lovely and talented Gretchen at heArt a day .) These are for your blog decorating and paintshopping pleasure. Help yourself to as many as you like and do with them what you will.

* 9 on the 9th is a virtual race for running bloggers. Run 9 miles on the 9th of February (any time from the 7th to the 10th is fine), write a race report on your blog and let me know your time and link to your report. Full official race results will follow. See our first virtual race.

He's our favorite Man Steak Pacer and he's back by popular demand. His name is Rothelle. Let it rrrroll off your tongue.





I don't know what I was thinking, maybe something about that Christmas Tree from Charlie Brown? Will someone give this guy a home?




Cutie Curly Boy is back.


New Baldy Man Steak. I predict he will be the hot new favorite.


If you like skinny and smoldering eyes... (in a malnurished sort of way)




Now she's pretty cute


Not only will she pace you, she'll sing the soundtrack from FAME, "I'm gonna live forever."




I think this is the same girl but I had to post our first GIRL STEAK. Holy cow, I want to look like that!




Oh my. I'm putting my head on that body...

We need more man choices - how about Jack Sparrow, or Dr. Drew Pinsky. Otherwise, I'd have to go with the curly guy.

I'll take two baldies please! Yup. He would get me into the 10 minute mile club. :)

I'm in btw. I'll be doing 18 that weekend. New goal to be dead last. :)

I hope your feeling better, Nanc!

Okay... sounds like fun! I won't be able to take part in the 9 on the 9th of February... but can we do something similar on the 8th of March?

Ohh... so many choices for photoshop fun!

I'm counting down the days, Nancy!

YRMFO!

Oh man, I wish I could participate. But I think nine miles might be a little out of the recovery program at this point.

When you announced this race after the 8 on the 8th, I thought I'd never be able to run that far. However, I've improved a lot, and next week I'm actually going to be running a half-thon on the 10th!!! They have clocks at each mile so I'll check my time at 9 and post that :) Thanks for the inspiration - my desire to participate in 8 on the 8th spurred this longer distances trend.

Oh, I'm so in. I think I'm scheduled for 12 or so but I'll report back after 9!

First race report is up! I hope we were not too early.

I am sorry we never got the shoe thing rolling for this one (my bad) but hopefully the next!

Loooveeeeeeeee the man steak!

Oh dear. Guy number two kinda looks like someone I once dated, minus the ink. :-)

I'm going to give this thing a try. I did almost 3 miles a day this week, so this will be a stretch for me, but I'm game.

Lisa and I are D-U-N.....Done! Hope it was still okay to get our 9 done today - we are both out of town starting this weekend!

If anyone comes up short, we actually ran 11 and would be HAPPY to donate a couple extra miles to a worth cause! :P

Poor Lisa - she didnt get any of those cool pacers - she had ME! :P

I made up a larger version of the logo and put it on my Zazzle gallery here. The original was pretty tiny. As Nancy said it can be turned into anything you like, I just put it on the basic man's tee.

Glad that you're doing better. I'll be thinking of your run when I'm lying on the beach on the 9th. Ahhhh.

haven't forgotten, I think I have a 20k on the 10th. I have to dide do I do 9 the day before? or use the firs 9 miles of the 20k?
# posted by Blogger DawnB : February 3, 2008 2:03 PM
 
Man steak... that's my vote.

my 9 on 9 will take place at 8am on the trails. Race director is calling for 12 miles so that will be my distance. :)

Very cool! I cannot wait for this race!

Hey, Nancy, if it's not too late, can I join in on the fun?

I'm going to do it..only I'm going to run 9 on the 10th (I was supposed to do a long run of 8 miles, so what is one more?)

This sounds fun!
