My first long run. From my house to Mysterious Kelly Butte Natural Area.

I tried the GU Gel for the first time and it processed without issues.

Lots of uphill especially on the trail up to the Butte

My first official run towards the Portland Marathon. My marathon partner ran this with me. I am a little further in the schedule than her but I don't doubt she will catch up quick!

Also, this route was hilly...up NE 33rd which is one giant hill.

Quick run around NE. Second run with Tausha. We ran through a nice park a couple times which was softer on my feet.

Welcome to the blog! I'm also training for my first marathon - Port Angeles in four weeks! I'm scared! If I like it, I'd also like to train for the Portland Marathon too. Good luck!
