portland marathon?

i am contemplating running the portland marathon this october.
my old running buddy who is now living in brooklyn suggested the idea.

and as intimidating as it is, i think i might go for it. i need something to seriously focus me—as well as distract me and take up my time.

and i need someone to be held accountable to.
eighteen weeks of training start june 7th. holy shit.

if i can do this, then i'll be pretty fucking amazing.
