This weekend I went to Portland, Oregon to watch and support my sister Kerri and Dad run the Portland Marathon. They both did amazing, running in it just about 4.5 hours. My Dad is 65 and this was his 19th marathon! You GO DAD! I am so proud and inspired by both Kerri and Dad, as well as Korryn. The determination and commitment it takes all of them to run and train is a big one, I so respect that. I am a runner at heart, but that runner is a bit trapped right now. I am not sure I have what it takes to run 26.2 miles, but I know deep in my heart I will run a half marathon someday. Until then I will watch and marvel at my family. They are so strong in more than just a physical way!
As the marathoners start their run this drum core is there giving them a great reason to keep it going. These drummers amaze me and they go for probably close to an hour, non stop until all the marathoners go by. The video does not do them justice. They are LOUD and amazing!
And a few pictures of Ryan enjoying Portland. He was looking at a beautiful fountain.
The picture below just cracks me up. He had found some mud in the grass and was so not pleased we (Mom and I) thought it best he not frolick in it.

You are more than a runner at heart! Remember you were my inspiration to start running in the first place. And I didn't start until my kids were in school. So, just give yourself some time.
Luv ya!
