Portland Marathon, 26.2 miles!

I ran my 2nd Marathon last weekend in Portland. It was a PR of 12 1/2 minutes from Seattle, 2006. My time was 3:26 (3 hours, 26 minutes) which breaks down to about 7:52/mile. I placed 15/654 women in my age group, 64/4198 women total, and 455/7736 runners overall.

My good husband drove me down to Portland at about 5:45 in the morning, and waited with me in a half hour line for the bathroom, coached me through my frustration and anger (I dont do well around 10,000+ people), and helped me stretch. I got to see him at a couple points throughout the race, along with my Co-Cross Country Coach and some other familiar faces. Our good friends Tauni and Jeremy met me at the end and we went to a great post-race breakfast. I was just missing my parents who were in Hawaii until later that night.

What's Next?? Seattle Marathon, Nov. 2007!!!

Homecoming Week...!

Fashion Disaster Day

I am missing the picture for Tuesday, which was Battle of the Sexes. Girls wore Pink, boys wore Blue.


"ER" Day. Dress like something that ends in 'er' (must be appropriate). I was a Ski Racer. Can you believe I wore my Downhill suite all day?


Color War Day (Staff was Purple). I was fortunate enough to play in a DodgeBall Game against the seniors. Unfortunately, Staff lost.


Crazy Black and Gold Day


Our staff and students really get into Spirit Week, which is really fun, but by the end of the week we are all ready for it to be over.

Tri-Cities, 2007

It had been 10 years since Troy was last able to come to Tri-Cities. We were glad to have him. Our friends, Tauni and Jeremy, came for the 2nd year in a row, along with another couple friend of Tauni's. Needless to say, there were too many people to all go in one boat at the same time :( We had lots of fun skiing at 7am, tubing, wakeboarding, airchairing, and running 20 miles. What a beautiful place and the weather was the best it has been in several years. This was Oscar's 5th Year! Hard to believe, and probably my 15th. Can't wait for next year!

Hood to Coast

This was my 4th (non consecutive) year running the H2C. Most of our team consisted of Bay coworkers. We had a blast and a pretty fast team!

I had to put up a picture of the "real" Hood to Coast Hero, Nell Nells. Just kidding, but I couldn't leave Nells out after she saw Scout and Henry:)
