The Portland Marathon

I completed the Portland Marathon today in 4:16:55.  Pete and I made a rookie mistake and started too fast.  At Mile 13, we were under 2 hours, which is just under 9:20 minute miles.  After a while, the lactic acid decided to treat me a lesson and my thighs felt like bricks, so we slowed down – a lot!  My legs are quite tired today but I think I ran the race injury-free.  It was a tough race but I really enjoyed it!  Mike ran around the course and cheered us on in 3 places.  What a sweetie!

Time: 4:16:55
