~:[CH15 - Day 134]:~ A Little Off Course

I don't know what I was thinking. After designing the league championships shirt, I went on to design the Cow Run shirt (or at least the first draft). My plan was to submit the design earlier so I could get a die-cut design instead of the sticker medal. About a month ago (or may be a few weeks), I was upset and posted about the city's community race. It's been sad that we haven't been able to host the Cow Run there because of all the logistical hurdles to get schools to compete there. I know there are reasons behind it, but then again, when the city wants to host a race and the county supervisor supports it, it gets a green light automatically. I actually wasn't too upset about that. I knew about the race for awhile as someone brought to my attention that in their notes they had, "similar to the Cow Run." What I wasn't expecting was to receive a text from my alum showing them their flier. They had their cow and a cow pun, the staple of our annual themes. Of course, I wasn't too threatened by their design, but still, it was a bit hurtful that we've been doing this for awhile now and they do this along with making it a challenge to hold the race in the park. I think I was a little motivated to finish the design after I thought of the theme to commemorate the FIFA world cup being around here. I came up with "Field of Dreams," but wasn't quite sure how to add in the pun. I looked at all the big stars, but finally, it hit me when I thought, they're all legends. Oh, wait! I know some coaches have battled with the schedule of soccer players, so maybe they won't appreciate the soccer ball on a cross country medal, but "hay," I needed to work in the theme. I actually have the theme for the next two years. I definitely went off course as I was suppose to finish a lot more of my banquet prep work, but my mind wouldn't let me go elsewhere as I was so focused on it. I'll be wrapping up banquet prep in a few hours after this post, but at least I'll be back on track after a day where I went a little of course. In the end, I hope that people will join us on our race on September 5th or help us find sponsors for our event, as we now have some competition who may be trying to knock us off course a bit. Of course, I'm not afraid, as our ohana has always stood strong to help make this race an amazing one, year after year. Thank you to all those who have made it special and I hope I see you on Labor Day Weekend! You all are truly Legend-dairy!
