Short and Sweet:
Awesome trip with awesome people.
Thanks Steve for driving.
Woke up early Saturday from my parents house and drove the 25 minutes to Champoeg Park and ran 6 loops or 35 Miles with Rob and most of that also with Steve and Lesa. Ran next 3 laps or 15 miles alone, contemplating life. Margaret, who had just completed her 1st 50k, came and ran my last lap, miles 45-50 with me. I was very glad because I wasn't looking forward to the long out and back section alone as there weren't many people out there anymore and I was missing the "other people" distractions. Margaret wonderfully kept me going talking to me and keeping me distracted. Once that out and back section was done though, I tried hard to pick it up as my feet hurt and I just wanted to be done and sit down! Finally I was done! 9:37 was my time. I was very happy as I thought it would take between 10-11 hours. I felt good and strong the whole day. The weather was great and the scenery beautiful. I got to run through the leaves which is my favorite thing, over and over again. Not jumping in the leaves this year as they were not in neat piles this year.
Now I feel pretty good, tight but good. I am very tired though so will go rest some more.
Grace and Peace to you.

You are an amazing and strong woman! It was simply a great weekend.
One thing more to add, for anyone else reading: Jenny and I completed our 50 miler last March in 14 hours. Jenny ran yesterday in 9:37. Holy moly!!!!
NO WAY! Mega P.R.!! Which was your first 50-miler?? I am impressed! -- Esther
A 50 mile romp through the leaves at that time sounds like fun. How lucky to have so many friends to share the journey.
Sounds like you guys had an awesome weekend! Congratulations on a great time for your 50 mile adventure.
I'm not so sure you are tire from the run or the fun you all had.
Cheers!
Wow!! Congrats Jenny! You are getting stronger and stronger!
You did great out there! I am not surprised in the least. Rest those legs and hopefully you will be able to join us in Seattle.
I hope you are feeling better. Call me if you need to.

You have been getting stronger all year but this was impressive. Rest those legs and journey on. I had a blast and thanks for letting us use your car AND stay at your parents. I laughed so much this weekend I'm surprised my stomach is not sore.
