Late is still a start time.
The Running Late Tee is for runners whose ETA is less of a promise and more of a working theory.
The front gives everyone fair warning: ETA: Optimistic. The oversized back makes the argument:
RUNNING LATE.
still counts as running.
Delayed but still on route. Same miles. Different timing.
For missed alarms, late starts, questionable time management, runs squeezed into whatever part of the day is still available, and anyone who has ever said “I’m leaving now” while very much not leaving now.
The schedule was a suggestion. The miles still count.
Showing up is winning.
