I finished the Oregon Women’s Half Marathon in 2:02:11!! That’s a new PR and I shaved 20 minutes off my last PR! Bonus: I got third in my AG!! It was a really great race and I can’t wait to recap it. But first, beer!

I did it - I am a marathon finisher! This feeling is indescribable. After totally losing touch with training the past month due to work stress, my goal was just to finish around 6 hours, and I crushed it! Don’t know my official time yet but it was somewhere around 5:35.

I will post a race recap in my journal sometime in the next couple days.

This was a neat race. We ran on one of the airport runways with planes & helicopters taking off and landing all around us. There was so much to look at, it went so fast! The finisher medal was super cute with an airplane on it with a spinning propeller.

I ran with my oldest son, who turns 15 next week. He refused to properly train for this race, so he wasn’t much competition for his mama, which is probably good because I needed to run this one slow anyways. It rained the whole race, so I’m very proud he got it done in tough conditions with so little training.

Back from back to back work trips so I will have to go back and catch up a bit. While I was in Orlando I wasn't able to do my track workout due to some timing issues but I did get in the other runs. I love running around Boardwalk even though it felt 99 my day there. I never noticed the water fountain at the boat rental shed before so that was a nice surprise during my run.

I managed to spend one evening in Epcot after leaving my conference a little early and there are a lot of really good choices this year. The merchandise is kind of crappy and I couldn't find anything I really wanted.
