Really I wasn't planning on purchasing the pictures from the Portland Marathon this year. But when I looked at them, I had to get them. The pouring rain and the smile on my face throughout made it important.

| The start. More garbage bags were destroyed for this than in a week in all of Oregon... |
 |
| The drums are just after the start. It is the best entertainment and gets the adrenaline pumping even more! |
 |
| The St John's Bridge at mile 17 is a highlight of the race. The only unfortunate part is the hill to get to it. |
 |
| My friend, Liz, saw me at mile 20 and ran about a mile with me. It was awesome to have a runner that knew exactly what to say for encouragement! I don't think she ever runs as slow as that mile. She has a 3:17 marathon and is registered for Boston 2011! |
 |
| Ctossing the Broadway Bri8dge is the sign that you are getting close! |
 |
| Coming to the finish! |
 |
| I love this shot! Big smile, flying feet! And when full size, my Garmin has my official time on it--04:34:56. Not my fastest marathon, but a great one with comraderie and fun. |

| Portland Marathon 2010 Finisher! It was quite an experience to run 26.2 miles in the rain! |
