Well I'm an not going to call this a  pathetic run because it's not since it is a run.  This is the first time in too long that I have made it out for more than one time in a week.  I have a babysitter lined up for my run on saturday.  I am running with salt lake fit that day.  They have a 21 mile run scheduled for that day. My plan is to just plug along and take it slow.  Slower than my marathon pace I just need some miles in.  I know they won't be the greatest considering my weekly mileage has been in the trash but I am scared to try portland with out at least an 18miler under my belt this season.

 Time 25 minutes.  I had a great cheerleader, and a sweet little blonde girl jogging in place next to me pulling all sorts of stunts. :)

I never asked you why Portland is your marathon you will be doing

That's an easy one :) My only sister lives there and she has been wanting us to come visit. This is the first year where school/work/finances aren't as big of an issue. So we signed up.

Plus she really wants to show off her new, huge, custom home. I know I will be jealous but I'm not jealous of her payments!!!
