Whoa. I lined up with the Kenya's in the front one year. They had numbers 1-23. I had number 4654. Gun went off and they ran me over. At mile 19 aid car followed me for two miles.

Had a crazy idea recently that Id coax my old self to try PDX marathon in 2023. I think the course has changed, and the covid photos from 2021 look dismal (no spectators), and they probably require the vax - sux.

Vaxx isn't a requirement anymore--too many drop dead. Go for it. Start training.

Very cool SIP 2.0. I only ran two marathons. I want to do another but the training at my age now is brutal. Thanks for the comment.
