Portland Quilt Market, walking a half marathon

This week will be Spring Quilt Market here in Portland and I am fortunate to attend this year.  I am so looking forward to this experience and meeting the designers that I so enjoy.

Maybe if I can get my camera and computer to see eye to eye, I can upload some pictures.

For the past year and a half I have been walking pretty regular and decided last Memorial weekend that I wanted to walk a half marathon the following Memorial Weekend.  I have been a training fool..yesterday we walked just about 13 miles and I was hurting pretty bad...the feet...but I know I can finish the half that will be in two weeks..just not sure I can finish in my 16 minute pace time without doing some running.  I am so looking forward to it and if anyone takes pics, I will post those.  I will be joined by a good friend and then a friend of hers will be going as well.

Hope all had a good Mothers Day.  Mine was pretty quiet..it was my birthday as well.  Off to try to get some gumption to trace out some patterns.

Happy Quilt week.

Michelle

      It went GREAT!!!! I loved it. Cannot wait for next year. I actually did better on my time ..my average pace was a 15.25 minute mile. I have done another 1/2 on the 4th of July..not a good time as started to get blisters at mile three and by the time I was done, I was just happy to be done...they were pretty bad and not sure why I got them. Have also done a 10k trail run and then in three weeks have a 9k and 1/2 back to back - same weekend...
