October found me once again in beautiful Hood River doing a marathon. I never imagined I would be fortunate enough to run this beautiful race again on the banks of the Columbia River.
This time I got to share it with my husband, my daughter and her husband and his mother, Annette. What a great experience once again!

It started out as a beautiful day on the banks of the Columbia River, a little chilly, but not raining. Rain was predicted later in the day, but we were hopeful it would hold off. We hopped on the bus to take us to the start line, spent a little time using port-a-potties and checking in and then we were off. The leaves were a beautiful golden yellow and the views were just as spectacular as I remembered. The contrast of colors of the dark rocks, golden tall grass, and green trees was gorgeous. About halfway through the rain started, but it wasn't too bad.
Just as beautiful and spectacular of an experience as last year.
