Wow! When was my last post? During the Reagan Administration? OK, it wasn't THAT long ago, but it surely feels like it. Where did the time go? Last thing I remember, was the Run for the Roses in June, and meeting Stacie and Kim. Next thing I know, I have just finished the Portland Marathon...slower than my first one. Wait, is that right? Yup, nearly 4 minutes SLOWER than my first one. What the heck? Did I crash out? Did I hit the wall harder than last time? Did I injure myself? Stop for a beer at the tavern at about mile 19? (no but I did think about it) And, why on earth would I say I had the BEST time ever? Welcome back to the ramblings of me...
