Racing Shirts Quilt

 I was never really an athletic kid. I played a bit of soccer, but not all that well. I swam a bit in high school, but never on the first-string team. A few friends started doing Couch to 5k last year, so I tried it, too.  I signed up for a few races, then a few more, and, somehow, a year has gone by.

I'm not a big novelty t-shirt person; I knew I'd get a lot of race shirts I wouldn't want to wear. I got a great idea: make a t-shirt quilt with all my race shirts and embroider my finish time on each square. Twelve months and 12 races later, I finished it. 

A year later, I'm still not ready to run a marathon (or even a half marathon) but I'm definitely ready to try to got for a personal record at every race.
