The Portland Marathon festivities have officially begun . Let the good times roll!
I’m just on my way out the door to catch my flight to Portland. Gosh.. I can’t believe a whole year has gone by. Seems like I did this marathon just a few weeks ago!
It’ll be interesting to compare this years experience, with last .
I’m breathing fair, but with these persistent calf cramps, walking a full marathon is still an iffy proposition. We’ll see what Sunday morning brings. Either way, I plan to have a good time.
I was invited to attend a luncheon put on by the Portland Marathon Race Committee. A guy name Bart Yasso, of Runners World, will be speaking and showing funny videos. Should be fun.
I’m not bringing my laptop with me , so I’ll post the outcome of this weekends event, when I return next week.
To everyone else who is racing this weekend………RUN/WALK STRONG!

Yipee! Have an awesome time! I’ll be thinking of all you running on Sunday.
It’s going to rain in Victoria, but I will run strong, and I will think of you.
Hey, man. Cool to hear you’re so interested in kicking asthma’s ass, too. Nice to meet you.
I wish you lots of luck in your run on Sunday! Can’t wait for the report!
Good luck Steve, I will be thinking of you.
Good Luck!!!!! Can’t wait to hear how it goes.

Good job Steve! 7:32! I was trying to keep up with your results today after my 20km so I could feel like I was out there in Portland. I don’t know if that’s a record, but you were in my thoughts today as you tackled another marathon. You are an inspiration to a lot of people out there! I’m glad to have met you, even if it was for a short time.
Hey steve. Great to see you finished. I hope you’re doing okay.
