Friday has arrived (just as it should have) and this is our travel day. We’re on our way to Portland and it will probably take us most of the day to get there. And I will be traveling in the company of grandchildren…what fun! I have been told that singing is an important part of our travel adventures and so I must be prepared to join in. And naps. Since the grandchildren are not quite 3 years old, there must be some napping involved in our travels and I will try to join in that as well.
I will be staying at the Hilton in downtown Portland, not far from the Start/Finish line for the marathon. And the weather is supposed to be OK for Sunday; mid 60’s and some clouds. It will be dark when we first assemble on the street for the mass start, but at 7, it’s light enough to enjoy the sight of thousands of participants moving forward as one, heading for the electronic strip that lies across the road at the start line; that will activate the small timing chip tied to our shoe laces as we cross it. Then all we have to is settle into our own pace and enjoy the marathon!
