I was so nervous to launch this new idea. It came to me on a run (shocking yes, I run). So many people from our neighborhood are always out on the trails. It really made me think how it sort of makes us all part of the same team. Team Olentangy Trails! I really thought this has some traction. Then I got cold feet. What if people hate it? Nobody buys it? People are mean (I mean, valid, they sometimes are on Facebook). But with encouragement from my dad and Abbey, I did it. I posted it in the neighborhood Facebook group and decided to not look again until the morning.

Whoa. Just wow. SO many people bought shirts! I don’t even know 90% of them. I’m so grateful. I’m glad people feel like they love the close access to the trails, too. The trails always make me think of Liv. She and Abbey used to ride bikes to cross country practice at TWHS. There was a part of the trail that Liv called Taco Forest because it reminded her of the smell of tacos. Admittedly, I still try and pick up the scent when I walk through (I think it was a certain time of plant blooming at that time of year).

Anyway, the shirts are for everyone: runners, walkers, bikers, strollers, birdwatchers. This team is all inclusive.
