Portland Marathon 2008!!!!

In cold and rainy weather, I am proud to say that Jeff completed the Portland Marathon this morning. Spectator duty was cold and damp as well, but nothing compared to what he must have been going through. When his hips were really bothering him (starting at mile 7) he thought about quitting. Then he said he thought about my pregnancy and all of my hip pain, and decided, if I could do it, he could too. How sweet! He finished in just under 4 hours, (about 3:55). We are all very proud of him!!! Here are some pictures of the morning...
