This year the Portland Marathon will be on Sunday, October 4, 2009. After 3 years straight of participating I will not be in it this year. I am very sad about this fact. I wanted to be one of those people that could say I had done it 20 years in a row. Now if I ever get the opportunity again I'll have to start all over. The Portland Marathon has always been my motivation. From the first time I started to workout and run and after I signed up for the 2006 marathon it has been my one event that I knew was coming up. When you have something that huge looming in your future you tend to keep training hard and eating right way better than normal. I am going to miss it very much. In a way I feel lost. Pretty weird I'm sure to most everyone else but me. I've been bummed about it for several months now. I'll be sad when the date comes and goes.
Here's a pic of me before the 2007 Portland Marathon.

It speaks volumes about your deepened committment to our Savior, that you're willing to give up running on the Sabbath for Him! Way to go Stacie! :)
P.S. - We've got to encourage Portland to do a Sat.' run, instead! :)
