3 Weeks Until Marathon Day

Three weeks from today, I will have finished the Portland Marathon. Originally today was going to be a 3 hour run. That got changed for a number of reasons. In the end I ran one hour on the Monon, and it felt great.

Overall I ran 4.8 miles. I felt strong during the run which is important. The 3 hour run will be done middle of this week.

During the run I thought about several things. I thought about moms like my sister who raise kids with Down Syndrome. I can only imagine the challenges involved. I have nothing but admiration for Anne, and other moms I know like Claire and Heidi.

I also thought about what the course will be like for the marathon. In future posts I will detail the course, and share my thoughts about how I will tackle them.

In the meantime I am really pleased with today's run.
