I ran the half marathon!! It was good as hell!! The Portland (half) Marathon course was great like SO great, our run club made signs for us, there was a silly little app, from which you could send a personalized link to your peeps, who could then leave you messages that would be read out to you live by a robot which was so much more touching than it sounds!! I am feeling BEAT, UP by the race, but mentally I felt just easy breezy about the number of miles. Have to be able to handle it physically and mentally! My body was over it but I was just really enjoying the passing of distance, trying to catch up to myself, etc. a really great race.
