Hood to Coast 2008
After 29 hours, 11 minutes and 45 seconds we finished and what an experience it was. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to do this race. If asked if I would do it again.....in a heartbeat!!! I can only hope I get another opportunity.

"Our Ride"....Van #1
Each team comes up with a name, and "Almost There" was ours. I won't mention what some of the other team's names were....let's just say that ours was more on the conservative side.
A quick pass off by Thomas & Kristin
Still smiling going on very little sleep!
The big finish!
Are we excited to be done or what??
This gives you just a glimpse of what the finish line was like. It was crazy, but absolutely beautiful! Imagine 12,000 runners plus, who know how many spectators. There was a live band, food and FUN!!!
The best part was seeing Bryan and Mia at the finish line. Bryan is so supportive of all the crazy things I do and I couldn't ask for a better husband. He and Mia had a great time together.
Do we look tough or what???
With 1,000 teams and 12,000 runners it was by pure coincidence that I ran into one of my high school friends, Suzanne. It was so much fun seeing her.
I had to take a picture of my poor swollen, blistered foot. I think that is the biggest blister I have ever seen!!
After the race, Bryan and I decided to stay on the coast in a little town called Cannon Beach. I pretty much think I need to live here. We stayed in this cute little bungalow.
