Oregon Wine Country Half Marathon

(Jackson waiting, and waiting for me to run by him—he was .25 miles from the finish)

Labor day weekend I ran the Oregon Wine Country Half Marathon. I wanted to get a big race in this year having completed two the previous year. Despite the two months of training, the warm weather, 3-mile gravel loop surrounded by hay fields got the best of me. I finished, but not in nearly the time I wanted to. Eh, just motivation to do another one this year.

This year I intend to run the inaugural Portland Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon in May, and then Rick and I are planning to do the Seafair Triathlon in July.
