#8 - Pacific Crest Marathon 2006

DATE: Saturday, June 24, 2006
LOCATION: Sunriver, Oregon

I had to go back to where it all started! My family loved the Pacific Crest events in 2005, that we invited the who family to join us for a unofficial reunion. We rented the same house and we all had a good time with each other. I remember the race was a little warm. Around my birthday (June 22), I came down with a cold, and was feeling a little lousy, but I remember feeling better on race morning. I ran the race, but around mile 21-22, I started coughing. I probably could have run faster if it weren't for that. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. I ran 3:32:15, which really surprised me given the cold, and still remains my fastest time on that course. I remember hearing about a guy named Chuck Engle aka "Marathonjunkie". He won that race and well has 22 others (I think that's right) in running 52 marathons that year. I remember think that, he was crazy.
