On Sunday, October 7th, I walked the Portland Marathon for the second time. I walked the marathon 3 years ago, then it was my first marathon. At that time I finished the marathon in 6 hrs: 5 min: 12 seconds. 3 years later (this year) after having a baby and a summer of training, I finished my second marathon on Oct 7th in 6 hrs: 9 mins: 18 seconds, an average pace of 14:06 min/mile. I was very pleased with my time, as I was expecting to finish in 6 hrs; 30 min, I finished 21 mins ahead of my expected time. Even though I was only 4 mins slower this year than three years ago, it did take me a little longer to recoup from the race, but I still had a good time and of course - finished!
