So I am not a t-shirt gal anymore. After hiding in them for years, I just refuse to wear a box, however, I'm earning a t-shirt with each 5K I run in. Does anyone have any creative ideas what do do with them?

    Looking forward to hearing what suggestions you get. The only thing I do is roll up my sleeves to my shoulder, but that's mostly because it's hot outside. :smile:

    How about stuffing them and making throw pillows out of them.

    keep the logos and whenever you're done or at your goal weight if you're here to lose weight, make/pay someone to make a quilt to document your runs!

    I've got shirts from races that I've done and I just use them to work out in at the gym. They are good conversation starters and almost like a badge of honor!!

    The quilt is great, but if you get like me and after two quilts, it makes sense just to donate them (if they are in good shape).

    I'm saving mine to make a memories quilt with. I will cut them apart to show each logo, and write in sharpie upon each what my time was.

    I have three so far, I need to get running if I ever want my quilt!!!

    Make pillows
    Donate to charity
    Restyle - http://www.generation-t.com/ or book:http://www.amazon.com/Generation-108-Ways-Transform-T-Shirt/dp/0761137858
    Sometimes, you can get a discount on the race if you don't get the t-shirt - never hurts to ask!
    Or, wear them proudly as they display your hard earned accomplishments

    I do exactly what those 5K t-shirts are made for... I run in them!

    I would wear nothing but t-shirts if I could, so I don't have this problem, but I do have some "memory" type shirts from other things that no longer fit me, I'm planning on doing the t-shirt quilt thing with them one of these days...

    I'm into the quilt idea, they are very easy to make, and last for years. You can also have some photo transfer done, so a before and after photo, and also your race t shirts would be awesome!
