It was an early wake-up this morning then to spend a few hours packing before heading off to the airport.  I was hoping to get in one last run in Salt Lake City, but it was not going to happen.  Once I arrived in Portland, I had a nice visit with family members in Gresham, before heading off to meet my Hood To Coast team for the first time.  After buying some supplies for our relay and a great dinner, I headed out for a late evening jog, which just consisted of running around the blocks surrounding the Days Inn for 2.2 miles.  I called it a night because it would be an early morning wake-up to get up to the starting line at the Timberline Lodge.

Before leaving to Portland, I was able to get in  300 sit-ups.

Hey Allie! Finally getting around to updating my blog.... In synopsis, the Hood to Coast was an absolute blast!!! It was so neat starting on the mountain, running through Portland, and ending on the coast. The people, scenery, teams, misty fog, seafood, powder like sand, firework show, and off-the-hook concert; oh it was just so much fun!
