I can imagine you guys running back home with pots from Lowe's! Ha ha! Is everything going ok with your training? Is the marathon sunday the 5th?

Yes still going to portland, won't make my goal but I still might be able to pull out a pr. School is getting better but last week was awful. 7a-6p mon, 7-7 on tuesday due to bodyworlds (I needed to go to make a worksheet for my students when they go on the fieldtrip) and 7-8:30 wed/thur due to parent teacher conference. I have decided I am going to quit marathoning for now and work on 5k's and a pr there. I can train and meet my goal with a couple miles a day, where I need a lot more time for marathons. I am an all or nothing type person, if I am not going to meet my goals I quit, I don't do it part way (as for my training) so I am setting smaller goals I can work on......so watch for me in the next week after portland.

Did you do your marathon? How are you?

Laurie, we are all anxious to hear if you did Portland and how it went for you. I ended up dropping out of St. George at mile 13, you will have to check out my blog. Please let us know how you are!!!
