Portland Trip 2010

My fourth annual trek (with kids, no Paul) to Portland, Oregon to support my Dad as he ran his 20th consecutive full marathon. 26.2 miles Dad, I am enormously proud and inspired by you. It's an honor to be your daughter and I thank you for impressing upon me the love of running. Watching you train and continually be disciplined about your sport keeps me going, whether I am in a running phase in my life, or not. I love you Dad Looking forward to marathon # 21!

Team Grandad

(there was a big screen TV on the hotel room wall - they would not look at me for the picture, no matter what I did!)

Finish line

That man does not look like he just ran 26.2 miles!

So look forward to the drums that are placed right after the start line.

And look at that rain.

It rained like that until about 5 minutes before we met Dad at the finish line.

Crummy weather for 26.2!
