I did it, finished the Portland marathon in the pouring rain in wet shoes and lots of blisters but I crossed the finished line at 6h26min. Next up is the NYC marathon on 11/7/10 as part of my quest to become a marathon maniac.
Portland marathon was my third marathon within one year, I started on this marathon journey last fall running my first marathon at the MCM and felt in love with the sport ever since. I was an obese person last fall when I ran the MCM, I weighted 234 lbs and today I am happy to report that I am no longer classified in the obese category, I am just an overweight now weighing in at 194 lbs, a 40 lbs deficit within one year.
Until next time I hope you'll find happiness in whatever you do.
