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!!!
