I went to work today, and was not the most focused I have ever been – tired mind and tired eyes.
But it was all worth it.
Our team of 5 all finished (for a t-shirt!), even though one of us had blisters pretty badly.
Weather was fantastic – cold and foggy at night and in the morning (probably mid-50’s), and mid to high 70’s by the end of the sunshine. Not a hint of rain. So much for the physical part.
Seattle had 3200 walkers and raised $8.6 Million for breast cancer research.
There were so many stories of women lost, and survivors and some that have been diagnosed as recently as three weeks earlier. 1 of 8 women will have The Diagnosis at some point in their lives.
As the women that walked with me will attest – statistics and analysis – a sign I am an engineer. Even so these are important statistics. Some of my less important statistical suggestions through the weekend. 1) When they Redmond cops handed out bracelets, how many put them on the right wrist, and how many on the left. (I discovered two of my teammates put them on the lanyards around their necks) 2) When you get up in the morning, do you get your food first to your table and then go back for coffee, or do you get the coffee first to warm your hands while you wait, even though it is hard to carry it all together in the end.
Like I said, I am tired, so I will close with a picture of 3 of us 5 and 2 of us 5 (we kind of spent a good part of the walk as 2 + 3 (fast and slow). Really it was 4 + 1, then 5, then 2 + 3, then 3 + 2, then 5, then 2 + 3 then 5 again. More about this at a later date. Lots of patterns and ways of walking. (I also don’t have a full 5 picture on my camera)
