My sissy and me
Jordan wanting me to sit next to him on his favorite sitting spot
I love spending time with my nephews!
A couple friends and me on my Hood to Coast team, we're testing out our night running gear. Pretty hot, mine didn't even make it to my run before it broke!

Here is where I camped out for 30+ hours
September 20 was Global Mala, yogis promoting peace in Action in Pioneer Courthouse Square downtown Portland. 300+ yogis came to participate, I taught at the event. Spectacular!
Running the Portland Marathon 10/4/09. It was a tough race mentally and I got through it, I was SO happy to see that finish line! Can you find me? Hint:my attire is in the blue and green family and am the shortest runner in the mix.www.runpix3.com/por09/00/finord.php?LastName=6085&lan&aset=0&dist=42 shows details on my finish. I finished relatively the same as last year, just a minute faster. Just like last year, I was stopped by a train, but at mile 12. My legs felt like lead the entire time following since we were stopped for 1:30-2:00. Not what any runner wants to happen, but that is life and sometimes things aren't fair. I knew I had to throw out my goal time and focus on trying to get to the finish line. It was SO hard to continue on, but so happy I did and still finished in good timing.
This year's Portland marathon was the 38th and their largest by far. Next year they will be introducing a half marathon with the full which will attract more runners. It is one of the most organized races and top 10 greenest races-everything is solar powered and volunteers man the course on their bicycles. There are so many volunteers and 19, yes 19 aid stations, the most of ANY race, it's amazing! I'm sure glad it's done, though.
