My wife, cellist Heather Blackburn, completed the Portland Marathon today! Less than 1/10th of 1% of people on the planet have finished a marathon. Heather’s a total hero and rock star!
She’s great not only for training for and finishing the race, but also for doing it as part of Team in Training, an organization which trains runners and walkers, and raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Her team raised over $350,000 this year! Go Team!!
UPDATE: here’s a link to her stats.
