Active Hemophiliac awareness shirt

I am working on designing an Active Hemophiliac shirt for awareness. Would anyone be interested? It will be made if wicking material, so, great for activities. There would be several shirt styles to choose from (i.e. running, cycling, tank, etc.) Please let me know if you are interested. You can visit my Facebook page and leave a comment.

June 1, 2014 San Diego Rock'n'Roll Half Marathon

I have now completed 7 half marathons! This time we traveled a long distance to run. Friends of ours from Boston, Doug & Carrie, also came out to compete. We had an amazing time together! The post race party was at PetCo Stadium... Very cool!
I had not trained as much as planned this time, so I really took it easy on my knee. I also didn't realize how many hills there would be and my calves really struggled on the downhill slopes. I now know what I need to work on. 😉 I couldn't even sprint through the finish line like I always do, because a knot was traveling down both of my calves, causing me to nearly crumble with pain. 
My time: 2:46:48
I placed 928 out of 1370 in my age group.
I placed 12,829 out of 16,850 total runners. 
Doug, Jeff, Carrie, & I before the race started.
Carrie and I were in the same corral to start. However, my bladder caused me to fall behind very early on. This is the down side of drinking so much water before factoring up for a race. 😉
This was nearly half way.
This was about 5K left.

Don't worry... I may be down, but I CAN get up! LOL
