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...

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.
