I know you’ve seen them. Those sassy shirts that say something like, “Some Girls Chase Boys. I Pass ‘Em.” While I was training and competing, one of the coolest feelings was knowing I could run faster than a heck of a lot of guys. In fact, post-collegiately, I did some workouts with the Men’s Track team at LaSalle. Now that was fun. It made us all better runners. It’s true, when you train with people better than you, it makes you work harder.

If you like those, consider purchasing one from a running specialty shop in your neighborhood or online one of my favorites is One More Mile or We Love Runners.
