Ah, another pic of that start line of another marathon. What a picture, eh? I went from being not nervous, to feeling great, to feeling ill for 9 miles, then felt great. Flirted with a few Marines on the hill to the St. John’s Bridge, surprised by a few friends in North Portland (thanks Old Testament J and Sweet Home J), avoided being seen by an asshole who I went out with recently (was I seriously stalked at the marathon? NOT a great way to get on a gal’s goodside—especially at Mile 25, pal), and then cried on my dad’s shoulder at the finish line. My Sunday was the entire human emotional experience.
