Where is my cute t-shirt?

The last time I ran this many miles was in October of 2010 at the Evansville Half Marathon.  A gun signaled the beginning of my 13.1 mile journey through the humble city of Evansville, Indiana. Every couple miles I was given a paper cup of water, a smile, and a 'Go, Lyndsey!' (though don't be deceived, I am not that popular. Instead the generous station volunteers spotted my name on my race bib.)  Many citizens of said humble city lined the streets to 'ooh' and 'aah' those of us committed (crazy) enough to show our raw selves fight the good fight of our race. And at the end, the glorious 'Hallelujah' was heard (or at least to my delusional self. Hey, you run that many miles and I bet you'll be hearing it, too!). I crossed the finish line with a glowing (ok, sweaty) smile and arms victoriously punching the air. I came away from this battle feeling worthy, strong, jubilant. Carrying with me a sense of conquering, and oh yes, the t-shirt. So I guess what I would like to know is, 'Where is my cute t-shirt?'.
