Earn the Shirt

I regularly wear my Spartan Shirts to run, work out, get things done around the house, etc. I earned them by finishing each Spartan Race I ran. Unlike some of the other races I compete in, you have to cross the finish line to get the shirt. Every once in a while, someone will ask me if I finished a Spartan race while wearing a Spartan shirt. The snarky side of me wants to say, “No, I just wear one to be a poser.” 

Why would someone wear a Spartan shirt when they have not run the race? I can’t do it. I do not want to be a poser.

I wear a Slayer concert shirt because I saw them in concert. 

I wear a Black Label Society concert shirt because I went to a bunch of their shows.

I do not wear a Rolling Stones shirt. I never went to one of their concerts. I love the band, but the ticket is too expensive.

I never saw Iron Maiden. The Number of the Beast is my favorite album of all time, but I never saw them live. I do not wear their concert shirt.

I believe that if you did not experience it (the concert, the race), don’t wear the shirt. 

Represent what you do, not what you think looks cool.

Just Be Better.

Stay Healthy, Stay Strong.
