The pavement is not my friend!!<BR/><BR/>Holy Cow you rocked the Portland Marathon!!!! How are those legs feeling? Then you turn around and rock the trails with Sadie. Great job!!<BR/><BR/>So the question I am asking myself after the marathon I ran last week is whether I could turn around and run another marathon right then and there. Yes.. I am getting very nervous about the 54 mile race!!! Almost in freak out mode but not completely.<BR/><BR/>Love the pictures!Gotta Run.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/03647983887882662002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598452380703242984.post-88472447544250398572007-10-15T22:13:00.000-07:002007-10-15T22:13:00.000-07:00I totally understand "tired but strong legs".

You should check into/create a marathon where dogs can join their owners.<BR/><BR/>Actually, now that I mention it, I lean towards "create." It could be called: Scott and Sadie's Marathon and can be held on the trails where you run. Scooter and I would come, but sadly, Scooter would probably poop out after 2 miles. He's not a distance dog. And he has very little legs (like me!). But we would still come and we would tell everyone before we left: We're training for the Scott and Sadie.<BR/><BR/>That would be awesome.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465800584212530717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598452380703242984.post-21588848888793135972007-10-14T05:45:00.000-07:002007-10-14T05:45:00.000-07:00You are going to love the JFK 50 course.

I did a face plant on the AT due to the scenery. How could I forget there were rocks on that trail. I ran into a few others training for the JFK. They said the race is really fun. They were both wearing Brooks Adrenaline like yours. They should work for you. I'll be wearing my Montrail Vitesse. Nothing better:)<BR/><BR/>Well, our motel is reserved. The course has been scoped out. The training is almost complete. I just wish you could bring Sadie to run with us.

That is darn impressive.<BR/><BR/>We both made the same choice this weekend when it came to venues. I almost ran the Long Beach Half tomorrow (on pavement) but instead I hit the trails for 14 with some friends in Orange County. It was an awesome run.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217970340507557462noreply@blogger.com
