The excitement is building as we are in Portland at the hotel watching the Spurs and Thunders playoff game. This is great relaxation for our super athlete as he mentally prepares for his half marathon on Sat morning which is four days away.  We fly out in the morning to DC and spend our first night in Culpeper VA. 

Training for this event had quite a set back when Wayne contracted a two week illness that took him off the road but Wayne did an amazing come back and feels he will be smoking the competition and winning the race in his division wearing his Oregon Wine Country Half Marathon race shirt. I’m predicting he will be wearing his Virginia Wine Country race shirt when he runs the wine country half marathon this Labor Day in Carlton.
