Earned Spirit Cape this Week!

The spirit cape is awarded to someone who made a significant contribution over the previous week; either performance, meeting fundraising goals or providing support for others. This week, I earned that award... COOL!

Now, sometime between last Saturday and this up-coming Saturday, I need to find/create/design a graphic for a section of the spirit cape. Then, I'll sign mine and Dani's names to that design and it's ready for the next person.

Dani wanted me to mention her school, UW, for school and team support. However, I hoped to make the design more personal (piece of intestine, red running shorts, angel), or whimsical (life-saver, hot-dog, running-toilet), or maybe I should combine all these wild concepts together into some interesting cartoon figure. Anyway, I have three more days to figure this out.

Running last week went well. I tried running consecutive days. By Sunday, my hip bothered me a bit so I backed off yesterday, plan to cross-train this evening and resume running tomorrow night at Stanford Track.

Dani trains at UW with the women's soccer team and has run up to a maximum of 7 miles at one time. So, we know she's good for that distance. She'll need to up the mileage prior to July. Her per mile pace is significantly faster than mine, so I expect it will be fairly easy when she joins me in June. We can decide then, our strategy to complete the entire course. I can't wait to train with her.
