Looking out of the airplane window, instead of imagining the wing breaking off or crazy winds causing the plane to flip over, we gaze at the beautiful Mt. Hood. It's summit is above the clouds!
Upon arriving in Portland, after traveling through 3 time zones, across 12 states, navigating 3 airports, baggage claim, rental car robot people and airport parking deck maze, we knew we needed only one thing. Marathon in 36 hours or not, we required a beer. So, we decided to find one of our favorite brewery's ale houses.
And partake in a nice cold beverage to take the edge off.
Ahhhhhh..... (a sigh not a scream)
This morning, we awoke early to clean crisp air of a nice temperate 55 degrees. After a 2 mile jaunt to stretch the legs and remind ourselves that we indeed remember how to run, we stopped by the highly recommended cafe Barista for some beautiful espresso and my favorite, the baby soy latte, to get the day started off right.
You'll notice the common thread of imbibing.
And then...a bus that serves grilled cheeses!
We pay to park.
Nutella, marshmallow, and banana grilled cheese.
BBQ turkey, cheddar, and tomato grilled cheese. We continue to fuel up!
Yay! Portland.
And, tomorrow we run 26.2 miles around this amazing city.
