Performance Report 2 of 3

Welcome to the second of three performance review reports. This covers the June ’07 performance period and also gives trip-to-date summaries or averages as I may consider appropriate or convenient.

I’ll start again by recapping my goals:

1) ride one huge loop around North America;

2) run 360 miles and

3) raise $3,600 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Now to report on progress toward those goals and several other metrics.

RIDE ONE HUGE CIRCLE:

Last time I mentioned that success in this category would involve a route that does not return to it’s origin by significantly repeating its “outward” path. As of June 30^th, I can quite safely say that although I’ve begun the trip back southeast, I have repeated very little of my outward path. It’s too early to claim victory on this one, but I bet that I’ll do pretty well. And if not, I’ll gladly manipulate the facts until they fit my idea of a good story. Here is the output from my GPS for the trip so far (Late April through EOM June):

RUN 360 MILES:

This is a dicey category for sure. I am very pleased that last month I introduced the concept of the RME, or the Road Mile Equivalent. I’m quite sure that I’ll need it. I’ll allow a small table to give status on this item

The infinite flexibility of the RME will certainly pick up any slack should I not happen to run 158 miles in July. So again, I predict success!

RAISE $3,600:

Thank you again!!!! . . .to those of you who have given gifts to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Their goals are important to me as they perform research for cures to cancer and provide assistance to those affected. In memory of my father, I decided to support this organization and I’m pleased that many of you have decided to show your support as well.

June’s nine additional gifts contributed $900 to the total, our net values are now $4,065 across 26 gifts. Thanks again!!
