The $60 Post - Portland Pictures!

I surprised myself and ran awesome. I had a completely unexpected, unplanned, un-dreamed of PR. I had on a shirt that was way too big for me. But I also didn't have tons of double chins ... and I freaking PR'd!!! SO ... I splurged and bought them all! So now I'm shoving them down everyone's throats. If you'd like one framed on your mantel, or poster sized, just let me know!  (To be nice I am not uploading ALL of them. See how generous I am once in a bit??)

I swear I'm there - look to the right, the girl in purple by the dude in bright orange and girl in grey. See me?
  
The two photos above are around the 5.5 mile mark. Clearly they caught me during Clif Shot time!

12 miles in... Realizing if I keep going strong I will get a PR!
  
Here I come! I passed 4 people in that final stretch!!

  
Sweet relief!! Oh - and in all of these last photos I bet if we zoom in you'll see my face covered in tears!
 
Probably only 2 minutes after this shot I was being carted off to the med tent!

Yay!!
