I spent a wonderful relaxing weekend with my sister and her family up in Canada. It was just what the doctor ordered!

Now I'm gearing up for Portland this weekend. Last night I started to make our "Kindred Spirits" team flags. Tonight I finish that project, confirm my ride to the train station and start to pack. I know the time is going to go very quickly between now and Friday morning.

I'm actually looking forward to this walk. I will be walking with a mostly different group and I know the city of Portland a little better than San Francisco which will make a difference. I'm determined NOT to lose my sense of humor - regardless of how many miles 26.2 actually turns out to be!! ;-)
