August 27th Highway to Well 1/2 Marathon

August 27th Highway to Well 1/2 Marathon in Pendleton Oregon.  Wow this one was HARD!
When the race started it was climbing up to reach 91 degrees and yes I have in pure black.  Silly me!  At mile 4 I decided to just do a 10K or 6.2 miles, at mile 8 I decided to just do 10 miles.  At mile 10 I had to jump over a snake on the road and thus had enough adrenalin to finish the race 4 grueling hours later I crossed the finish line dead last and dead beat!  What a great support staff!  The never left me alone on the course and they stayed at the finish line to give me my medal! 

August 6th Greater Portland 1/2 Marathon

Greater Portland Half Marathon August 6th in Forest Grove Oregon....My hero during this race was my daughter Pam who ran the race with me without doing any training...really how is that possible???? She did great and only finished 10 minutes behind me.  No I am not an Oregon Beaver Fan I just happen to LOVE orange!
