26.2

This past weekend we headed to Portland. Saturday was my Dad's birthday so we enjoyed some family time. Then, it was an early Sunday morning as we headed downtown for Eugene to run the: He and his running partner, Randy, joined over 12,000 others as they ran all across the city - 26.2 miles to be exact.
When Tina and I met them with food at mile 12 they looked like they had hardly broken a sweat and were keeping up great time. Sadly, Eugene's leg cramped up around mile 16. BUT, my amazing husband KEPT GOING for 10 more miles and still finished strong. I am so proud of him!

Coming down the home stretch!
