Lol, I thought you really won a race until I reread it and noticed the sarcasm and humor. It was funny.

After reading this for the 6th time ( I just can’t help myself ) i had to respond. You’ve made me laugh out loud on many occasion, but this made me cry. I particularly break into spontaneous gut rolls happy tears when I try to image you jumping from post to post. Just to make it fair!. Very funny stuff. Mr. Connery was on a roll with this one.

Love the race report and photos. So inspirational! I'm going to run a virtual 50 mile race today in your honor! Well, it's going to be so virtual I'll be in the car, but I'll sweat and groan a little just to add authenticity. Thank you for coaxing me off my butt and back on my butt again! (Actually, will go to the gym before our car trip but our gym is not nearly as scenic as Portland. Great photos!) Crabby McSlackers last blog post..Low Cal Snack Foods: Whaddya Think?

@Chris: Thanks for dropping a note – I really do appreciate it. The funny thing is this post was really easy to write in a lot of ways because I enjoyed writing it. There might be something to that concept….

@Lisa: Hi Lisa! Thank YOU for sponsoring the event. Such a great idea. And, the trophy was a bit tough to mount as a hood ornament on my car, but where there’s a will there’s a way.

@Christine: Hey there Christine – I had it on my mantle for a while, but it looks so much better when I can drive around town with it on display (see my comment to Lisa)

@FBG: You win the prize for mentioning our elected official! When he started campaigning, I honestly thought it was a joke. But nope, it was the real thing. Pretty cool.

@Blake: Yep, we really are enjoying Portland. We’ve been here for a couple of years (nearly), and are thoroughly enjoying getting to know the city. We live about 20 minutes from downtown (which in Portland terms is the Sticks), but we spend a lot of time in the city. Every chance we get, actually.
