Ok, before I launch into my yammerings of love for My Race Ragz allow me to revisit what I declared about doing few reviews and giveaways.
Im doing fewer reviews and giveaways (rimshot!).
I will no longer do reviews without giveaways attached (to me it rings all too uncomfyclose to Neener! Neener! Look what I got!!).
In addition, I rarely say yes to giveaways pitched to me.
Most likely, if you see something here, Ive sought the brand out, declared my adoration & asked to review/give.
That said, My Race Rags reached out to me.
And I couldnt say yes quickly enough.*
It is such a cool concept (how long have we all been whining for personalized NICE tech shirts?) and their social media person is one of us.
As IĀ mention in the snippet-video below the only struggle I had with My Race Ragz was my own inability to decide what to put on the tees.
Apparently one the world is my mizfitOYSTER I get paralyzed—who knew?
Please to enjoy my 30 second review as filmed by the Tornado**:
Please to enjoy the Tornado’s 30 second review of the xxs adult tee My Race Ragz was so kind as to send her***:
Bottom line:
- I adore the fact we can now design our own tech tees! Runner or avowed NON-runner.
- The tees were super comfy and not clingy when the Tornado and I tested them out along the streets of our ‘hood.
- Even though I was initially paralyzed by all the choices—I now wanna get a tee for each person in my family for Hanukkah
Bottom bottom line?
- As always I had to procure me a treat for you.Ā The USA and CANADA you.Ā You can be entered for the lowlow cost of a comment below.Ā Be you walker, wogger, yogi or kettle bell’er what would you put on the front (and/or back!) of YOUR My Race Ragz tee?
winner announced 9.30.11
*FTC the tees were free! The silly logo on front & ramble child are both my own.
** Id apologize for the fact you cant really see my face/pretend I didnt wanna hurt the Tornado’s feelings & ask for a reshoot—but I looked tired that day. I like the partial obscurity!
***translation = when she refers to the AARGH she means the girly skull #youllhavethat

September 23, 2011 at 3:10 amgreat site!!
I’d get one that says
YOU”RE GETTING CHICKED, MAN!
with a little chick wearing a pink bow, running.
Super Cute
Brandi B says
September 23, 2011 at 3:17 amI have to steal your idea (my 6 year old son would love it)
How do I define me?
I’m Elijah’s mom (with a little boy wearing a football helmet)
Leslie says
September 23, 2011 at 3:55 amYou two are so cute.
Mine would read I ROCK!!
Izzy says
September 23, 2011 at 4:03 amI’m a power walker.
Feel my power!!
(That would be my tee :))
Erica says
September 23, 2011 at 4:07 amI so want a tee! They are adorable. Id love to own clothing with my blog name on it
Kimmie says
September 23, 2011 at 4:09 amMine would say:
SWIMMER IN TRAINING.
I would wear it to and fro the pool.
Tess says
September 23, 2011 at 4:13 am“On Three” for the front symbolizing my three boys, action in life and being ready for it. On the back I would put “Set Go!” I think the pic on the front would be a mom with some asseccories and running shoes! P.S. Tornado is ADORABLE!!!! Thanks for sharing her comments too.
Nettie says
September 23, 2011 at 4:15 amMine would say I CAN DO THIS.
How sweet is the Tornado with her I love my mom comment.
You done good, Miz.
Runner Girl says
September 23, 2011 at 4:21 amEat my dust!
(on the back. I’m still thinking about the front LOL)
Helen says
September 23, 2011 at 4:54 amHappy runner (on front)
Running to coffee (on back)
THank you!
Veggie says
September 23, 2011 at 4:55 amFront “Strong Girl Fitness”
Back “Save the earth, flip a tire!”
Becky says
September 23, 2011 at 5:12 amMy shirt would say “I can go a little longer”. In my most recent post I described how it is my new mantra and how it helped run a mile without walk breaks for the first time in 20 years. š
Heather @ Not a DIY Life says
September 23, 2011 at 5:17 am“I run. What’s your superpower?”
PS. I seriously love the Tornado. She and my Ladybug HAVE to meet one day š
Valerie says
September 23, 2011 at 5:22 amHmm…since I really only run if I’m being chased by someone with a sharp object, I’d probably have to put “Please help me” or “Call 911” on mine.
Just kidding, of course. Mine would most definitely say “To Be the Best Me I Can Be” as I seem to have adopted that as my life motto.
But all that aside, I love yours. Especially the AARGH. š
The Delicate Place says
September 23, 2011 at 5:45 ami’d put: finish strong
Coco says
September 23, 2011 at 5:48 amLOL, Valerie! I love that Tornado said “I like sweating in it!” Honestly, I’d like your design to give to my daughter, but I think I’d go for Running With Perseverance for my own. Yes, its my blog name, but its also my personal mission — never give up!
Tia says
September 23, 2011 at 5:55 amMine would say I already won on the front and I lost 50 pounds on the back.
Love the videos!
Healthy Mamma says
September 23, 2011 at 5:55 amWeight training rocks!
(That would be my tee LOL)
Renee says
September 23, 2011 at 6:00 amI’d create a whole collection of philosopher running tees. “Foucault protect me from your followers!”
“Butler protect me from your followers!”
“Cornel West protect me from your marketing machine!”
And so on and so forth.
Barbara says
September 23, 2011 at 6:01 amOn the front: Only runs when chased.
On the back: Chase me so I can start running.
On second thought, nah, that would attract all kinds of crazy.
How about for the front: Fit by 40
And the back: 5K or bust!
Shelley B says
September 23, 2011 at 6:01 amSo glad these are out there – I wanted a personalized shirt last year when I was running my first half and just couldn’t find any manufacturer where I could get one shirt for a reasonable price.
I’d either get one with my blog logo on it (for me) or be benevolent and make up something cool for Jeff for HIS first half in December.
Lori says
September 23, 2011 at 6:07 amMine would be Biking Chick!
Heather says
September 23, 2011 at 6:10 amMy tee would be:
Crossft RULES!!
Laurie says
September 23, 2011 at 6:10 amMine would be:
How about YOU try to TRI?
Laurie says
September 23, 2011 at 6:11 amAs always love the videos and want your arms.
Angi says
September 23, 2011 at 6:14 amMine would be Strength, Energy, Love, Focus (SELF) around the Om symbol.
For me, all of these things bring together who I am, who I want to be, and the interconnection between my physical, mental, and emotional health.
Although I kick ass would be a close second.
Yoli says
September 23, 2011 at 6:19 am“I won when I entered”
Etta says
September 23, 2011 at 6:23 am“I lapped the people still on the couch!”
Thanks for including Canada!
Kerri O says
September 23, 2011 at 6:30 amNot sure what I would put on the shirt!
But, commenting on the giveaway review thing. I had a company ask me to review one (really nice, fancy) scale, then giveaway the bare bones simple scale. Felt sort of like bait and switch to my readers. I told them I would be glad to review the same scale that I giveaway (even the simpler one) and they said no. Yeesh. I’m pretty over it.
Becks says
September 23, 2011 at 7:33 amThere are two options so far..
Option 1) front: running & I are not friends
Back: we’re aquaintences š
Option 2) front: If I can do it…
Back: I can do it!
There’s more, but I haven’t had enough coffee yet.
Courtney says
September 23, 2011 at 7:42 amWow! This is awesome. I have been looking for a site that I could make performance tees for those of us who run for the CF Foundation. I designed a logo for our team , so that would go on the front, and “Team Heather” would go on the back. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Laura says
September 23, 2011 at 8:25 amGreat videos!!! Tornado is super cute!!!
Front: Run, Read, Sleep
Maybe with woman silhouette
running w/a book
Back: Believe or maybe Strength Rules!
@FitInMyHeart (Dr. Mo) says
September 23, 2011 at 8:46 amOH MY GOSH!!!! My heart MELTS everytime I see cute lil “T” do her thing!!! I LOVE these Ts!!! Need them for my #the3day walk late October!!! Thanks for the intro!!!
Much Love!!!
Dr. Mo ?
Cammy@TippyToeDiet says
September 23, 2011 at 8:56 amI’m with you on the paralysis. What I’d put on *my* shirt would require massive amounts of pondering. My time might be better spent just ordering one of the pre-designed bike shirts. š
Nikki says
September 23, 2011 at 9:03 amYou 2 are so cute!
front ‘coach’
back ‘something is better than nothing’
Amanda says
September 23, 2011 at 9:43 amI believe I would get seven and label them with the days of the week. That way I wouldn’t have to think when picking workout clothes. Sadly, I am serious. My brain has finally reached “overload” status. Having an almost-teenager is apparently just about all my feeble mind can handle!
Loving the Bike says
September 23, 2011 at 9:49 amNice post and as always I love your honesty and attitude. I love the t-shirt and am with you in feeling the cool vibe that company is putting out.
Darryl
Erin says
September 23, 2011 at 9:56 amMine would say “Unleash the Beast” on the front with some kind of animal or werewolf in a cage and “Keep runnin’ runnin'” on the back. š
shannon says
September 23, 2011 at 10:05 am“and my favorite thing is just my mom” died.
Sinner Ella says
September 23, 2011 at 10:16 amFirst I wamtvyo say that the tornado is awesomely adorable. The fact that you’re her favorite should be on your next shirt. Next, it’s oddly alarming that your voice and mine are similar to the point of my tornado asking when I put a video online. And finally, my shirt would moat definitely say “Bad-asser Than the Boys” with a muscle bound girly skull. Gotta have it, NOW!!!!!
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers says
September 23, 2011 at 10:18 amCool! Customized stuff is more fun than regular stuff, no matter what it is.
lindsay says
September 23, 2011 at 10:54 amthe tornado’s review cracked me up! I’m sold!
Jackie says
September 23, 2011 at 11:14 am“Yoga is my Prozac!”
Tom says
September 23, 2011 at 11:15 amI’d put on the front:
My wife is the real runner in the family.
On the back:
No, really.
Wanda says
September 23, 2011 at 11:16 amCouch to couch.
(Like the Couch to 5k :))
lee / fitville says
September 23, 2011 at 11:16 amI love these shirts! Checked out the website and there are so many bike images to choose from. Let’s Roll!
Kimberley says
September 23, 2011 at 11:19 amMine would say #ilovemylife
The Tornado is waaaaay too adorable and so is her mama!!!
Elizabeth J. says
September 23, 2011 at 11:57 amAwesome! I would put my husband’s logo from one of his movies of a quail driving a dune buggy. That way, he’d be with me on my runs.
Erin says
September 23, 2011 at 12:15 pmThat’s so freaking awesome! Think of all the awesome art I could do on a shirt!
Jody - Fit at 53 says
September 23, 2011 at 12:46 pmLOVE the reviews & especially Tornado loving her mom as part of her review!!!! So cute! Cool that Christie is part of this too!!!
Like you, so many choices BUT mine would be something like the saying I love:
Strong is the new sexy! OR Muscles are cool!
I might change it to “I am worth it” but one of those 3 OR something similar!
charlotte says
September 23, 2011 at 1:35 pmOkay, the Tornado interviewing you?? That will become a MizFit family favorite for years to come. And I love anything I can personalize so this is so fun. There are too many plain tees in the world – yay for more fun stuff! I’m bad with slogans but I totally want one now that says “Gym Buddy”! Gonna go check out their site and see how much it would be to kit out my whole crew!
addy says
September 23, 2011 at 2:26 pmYes – front
You can – back
Quix says
September 23, 2011 at 2:47 pmWay too fun. I wish they would come in not-white but it’s still just soooo cool. I loved some of the pre-set ones (A half marathon is a 5k with a 10 mile warm up, No one told me there would be hills, etc), but I’d really have to think hard for something clever.
Dana says
September 23, 2011 at 7:00 pmGosh this is hard. I just got the best sleeveless shirt – has a turtle and says I AM running!
I love the I am not a slow runner I am just doing that to mess with your mind!!! And then go girl go on the front!
TwoDiffSocks says
September 23, 2011 at 7:24 pmon the front: laugh now…
on the back; weight training RULES!
:p
Tara Burner says
September 23, 2011 at 7:40 pmOMG cannot say enough how adorable tornado is!! she’s sooo cute!
and besides wanting a shirt, I want your arms too ok?
Tara Burner says
September 23, 2011 at 7:42 pmthere’s toooo many designs to choose from and my own creativity is shot right now (can I blame it on catching my daughters funky cold?) but I do like the ‘strength’ design
Jo Anna says
September 24, 2011 at 9:46 amMake today count!! What a cool idea…
Ron says
September 24, 2011 at 9:56 amLove the videos, your daughter is so pretty
Mia Jones says
September 24, 2011 at 10:58 am“Keep Calm and RUN ON”…a riff on the famous London Blitz slogan.
Amanda says
September 24, 2011 at 3:57 pmI’m a wogger:-) “No matter how slow I run, I’m still faster than someone sitting on the couch”
Bonnie says
September 24, 2011 at 4:08 pmWhat a fun giveaway and great idea for a company! I think my shirt would say: “Easy. Light. Smooth. Go!” (part of a mantra I repeat when I feel like I’m dying on a run) or “Life to the Full” …so many thoughts and great ideas! Thanks for a giveaway open to Canadians too. š
Arena Thompson says
September 24, 2011 at 8:10 pmMine would be ‘keep calm and go run!’ š
Bring Pretty Back says
September 25, 2011 at 3:00 pmWhat a cool company!!
Have a pretty day!
Kristin
Carrie says
September 25, 2011 at 3:52 pmLove the idea of personalized shirts, particularly in a breathable fabric!
I think I would use something like: One Foot in Front of the Other. Repeat as Necessary.
Though I really loved Angi’s SELF suggestion! And, I’m a huge fan of the extremely simple: BELIEVE
Kim says
September 25, 2011 at 8:46 pmLove everyone’s ideas! Mine would probably say “Breathe.” It’s a song that I run to (from the musical In the Heights – yes, I run to show tunes!) It’s something that I have to keep reminding myself.
Morgan says
September 26, 2011 at 10:07 amI love all the ideas on here! Mine would say “Run Like a Mother”
Jeannie says
September 26, 2011 at 11:20 amFitMom I Luve For The CHALLENGE!
Barbara says
September 27, 2011 at 11:22 pm“Spinnin’s my thing” on the front
“Let’s go!” on the back
Stephanie Lambert says
September 29, 2011 at 10:27 amI MUST have one of these, whether i win the giveaway or not. you have to get me one. the best motto EVER!!!!!!!
Thea @ I'm a Drama Mama says
September 29, 2011 at 10:57 amOn the front, I’d have “Progress, not perfection” and on the back, I’d say “Run your own race”
Mary says
September 29, 2011 at 11:25 amYou two are the best!
On the back “You can REST at the END!”

April 29, 2012 at 3:59 pmThe Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
