Spirt Cape & Snotty Plaza Hotel Run

As mentioned, I was sick last week. I emailed my coaches and asked them if I should do the long run on Saturday, even though I felt like poop. Coach Michael said if it was just a head cold, yes, to take it easy and run through it.

• Saturday morning- alarm goes off. I feel okay. Not as bad as the day before, but still a tad bit crappy.
• Get dressed, get to the park and hang with my running mentor for a few.
• Coach Michael gets up to speak...announcements...Why is Yasi up there speaking. What! Me! Spirit Cape! No way! YAY!
• Spirit Cape: given each week to a different mentor or mentee for being, well awesome :) Okay, really Lorraine and Heather nominated me, which was awesome of them. The winner of the cape then takes it home, decorates it and gives it back the following week (pic to follow soon).
• Ran for 2 hours up the West Side highway. I had snot dripping down my face the entire time, but it felt good to get out and move, especially after not running all week.

Post-run treat...lunch at the Plaza! Well almost. Said in snooty maitre d voice: "Laaaadies, we have a dress code at the Plaazaaaa". Eff that. We had an awesome brunch at Fig & Olive instead...sweaty running clothes and all. Thanks to my running gals for nominating me and allowing me to stay at a nice, easy pace on Saturday. Run on Snot Head, Run On!
