"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

Congrats! I can't imagine doing a marathon, let alone doing it in the weather we're having! You are cool!
Will you be doing the Danskin next year, too? We must meet up! Quillfred said she'd do the Danskin, too, y'know..."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Congratulations Colby...I know being from Portland, how the weather was last weekend.....good for you. I did the Portland Marathon 2005 ,but I started crying at the end ,and couldn't stop. I did it in 4.45. It was by far the hardest thing I ever have done. I thought my body was shutting down by mile 19. It is a huge accomplishment. enjoy the rest...you deserve it.

Yep, I'm sure I will -- it's now a yearly requirement with my mother in law.
