I have them, they no longer say dishboards, and are on their way. I'm hoping to have all the orders done and out by Monday. There are 4 of the CoolTs I do not have yet...for some reason they were shipped separately but they went out yesterday via priority mail so hopefully, I'll have them tomorrow or Monday.

Thank you Mel! You did a wonderful job. Do you think the company will be interested in doing another batch, someday?

Mel - you are awesome!!!!

I'm not as in a rush for my shirt as some folks who have races coming up, so please feel free to put mine at the end of the shipping line. :)

We got ours!!! Only 1 problem...ALL too small!!! :headache: I knew the ladies ones might be tight, so I'm not suprised on those. DH must be extrememly tall or something. I ordered 2 of the men's trail shirts... 1L and 1XL. The L was just way too small. Didn't fit me either. The XL...Too small for him too!!! He's 6 ft tall and 208 lbs. He has a pretty slim build except for a little (and i mean little) beer belly (though he doesn't drink beer! :goodvibes ) The shirt barely covered his belly button! I tried it on because I really wanted a sleeveless for the Minnie...Too small for me too. So, I know have a total of 5 shirts that neither one of us can wear. I will have to lose another 15lbs before I can ever wear the men's shirt comfortably. I hope to one day fit in my ladies v-neck and 2 singlets, but for now... they just won't work. I am so dissappointed. :guilty: I just can't get over how small the men's shirts appear to be. All of his regular everyday t-shirts are Larges. Wow.

I do think my mom's v-neck will fit her. Good thing I got her a Medium though. Her shirts are normally a small and there is no way a small would have fit her.

Thanks Mel for all your work! :hug: I really do like shirts! I just WISH they fit! Maybe by January for the 1/2 marathon I can wear the v-neck. Cross your fingers for me!

I ordered some shirts from Race Ready about 5 years ago for a group and had the same problem. I am 5' 10" (was 150) and they all were very short, even XL's. That's just the way the shirts work. I order XL's from another vendor and they drown me:)

Sorry to hear the shirts didn't work out for you. Most of the sizes you ordered were pretty popular...you may find other teammates who didn't get in on the order that would buy the shirts from you. Richard (tiberius) was looking for a Trail shirt.

I was going to suggest. Bring them to the Minnie. Maybe folks like me will pay you a premium.:lmao:

Also got mine today, and although the L trail shirt is a big snug, that's probably because I'm closer to 200 than the 180-185 I have been...

Of note, these are shorter than the "old" shirts but if anything I thought the old ones were a bit long, these are cut more for running. I used to just end up having a bunch of folds soaking in sweat around the waist. Love the new fabric too, that'll be a refreshing change.

Great work!

Got my shirt yesterday. Didn't try it on but it will definately fit. It just might be too big around the arm hole area (got the singlet) but I figure if its too big I can always wear a black jog bra underneath (not that I have a black one - lol)

Again thanks for your time and effort on this order.

FYI...If you know anyone who would like an extra race ready shirt or who wanted one but did not get in on the order...I am willing to sell the following:

1 Ladies XL Singlet
1 Mens XL Trail Shirt
1 Mens L Trail Shirt
1 Ladies XL V-Neck.

I do not remember how much they cost, but Mel may be able to help me out. I will be more than happy to bring them to WDW to the Minnie if anyone wants it then. Just PM me and let me know if anyone is interested.

I really do like the shirt. The Men's is just too short for DH and I like it for myself, but too tight. If I had lost that 15lbs like I had planned...They may have fit. :goodvibes

Mel--- I got my shirts yesterday and I love them. I wore my lady V neck last night along with my new runningskirt for my 4 mile walk and the shirt is so light weight it is almost like you don't have a shirt on at all. The jury is still out on whether I like the runningskirt, but that is another story. I will say as it gets dark no one should have any trouble seeing you as the shirt is so bright. Thanks again for all your hard work to get this done.

I have to drop off CreativeBeth's over the weekend.

Stacie-- I will let other who maybe didn't get a shirt have a chance for the XL V neck but if no one wants it I will buy it. Is the trail shirt the crew neck? DH hasn't tried his on so if the Large doesn't fit him I would take the XL. I'll pm you if I definately want it.

My v-neck is spoken for...sorry!

I'm now down to:
1 Ladies XL Singlet
1 Mens XL Trail Shirt
1 Mens L Trail Shirt

I really liked the trail shirt. The little pocket in the back is nifty! If it would fit around my middle, I would wear it, but no such luck! DH's torso is just too long for them.

Nancy...I believe the trail shirt is crew neck.

Mel, thank you for ordering these and all the hard work you did! I got mine today, I will try it out tomorrow on the TM. Like Matt said it is shorter. I hope I don't expose any belly! I love how thin it is though!

Got mine today!
They're both a bit snug, but hopefully they'll
fit better by January.
If not, I'm spray painting my belly green and
wearing them anyway ;)

Thanks for your hard work!!!!

(If anybody has a women's xl singlet or a men's
large trail that they want to trade for a L women's
singlet or a M trail shirt pm me-if anybody wants to
buy them let me know, then I can buy Stacie's!)

Woohoo! Shirts are here!

At first, DH rolled his eyes and made a comment about how much these must have cost and how much WISH gear has been coming in....

Then he looked at his. Suddenly, he is asking questions about how many other people are on "our" team and how many we'll meet in May and January.

We are still in the middle of kitchen remodel (I think it's called a "major remodel"--new flooring, new outlets, new switches, new cabinets, new countertops, new sink, new faucet...) so my whole house is a disaster--no place to take photos in my new WISH gear yet.

Thanks, Mel, for all your hard work! The shirts are amazing!
