Portland Marathon!!




As you all know Neil and I completed the Portland Marathon two weeks ago!! It was very difficult for us towards the end of the race! But.....we finished! We ran it in 4 hours and 45 min. I believe the hardest part of the race was running from miles 20 through 26. Luckily there was tons of water, a Gatorade type drink, and few snacks offered along the way to keep us replenished and energized. We are already ready for out next challenge which we believe is going to be the Vancouver Marathon in May!


There were race photographers who took our picture along the way and here is one that we purchased.
There are more photos available but we are not sure if we are going to buy them because of the price however you are welcome to check them out if you would like at:
www.portlandmarathon.org click on the photos section and either type in bib # 5046 or 5047.
Thanks Rod and Signe for coming and rooting us on! It was so fun to have family to share the adventure with!
We cant wait to see everyone for Christmas!!!
Love,
Jen :)

Yay! Total accomplishment! If this is going to be a regular thing for you, I hear Bellingham's marathon is beautiful - right along the bay.

I hope you had a good recovery and are feeling on top of the world!

Love you both! Can't wait for hugs in a couple of months!
