2014 Portland Marathon

My Hubs Man achieved a serious bucket list item today: he ran the Portland Marathon!!! After 6 months of training on weekends and during work days at lunch, he crossed that finish line!!! I wasn't able to be there for several reasons. First, since Boston they won't allow spectators at the starting or finish line and second, Trudy had an unexpected back episode at about 6:30 this morning and it took me over 2 hours to get her to a place where she could walk on her own. Talk about bad timing. We had a meeting place at mile 21 all set up and Hubs looked for me and I wasn't there. Such a dummer!!! Nonetheless, I was able to follow his progress from home until his RFDI cut out at mile 21. Hopefully in a few days the marathon will be able to tell us what his finish time was...
