We all love to run, but some days, we just need a little extra motivation.  Now that the spring running season is starting and it’s time to start peeling away those layers you wore during your winter runs, why not consider some of our more popular inspirational running t-shirts? Nobody ever said running was for the weak – there’s a reason runners joke about how our sport is other people’s sports’ punishments! Remind yourself that you had the courage to start, you’ve had the strength to endure, and that you sure will always, somehow, some way, find the resolve to finish.  If you or someone you know is planning to run a first marathon or half marathon, this would be a great gift to remind them how far they have come from that first run!
