Surreal still 4 days after marathon

Yes, I did finish! I have started to blog my experience several times but all I can write is 'Surreal". I have been busy caught up in returning to Portland, business in NY and responding to so many supportive emails. I can not say thank you enough to everyone! My aim is to catch up on the marathon day and share some stories so you can all share in the event. And hopefully, I can convince a few folks to join me next year. For one moment at mile 24 I felt as though I was running stroke free and it made it all worth it!
