Portland Marathon
Welcome to the Portland Marathon blog - OregonLive.com: Breaking News Updates
The Portland Marathon is off and running and you can keep an eye things from the warm comfort of your living room.
Follow along at this special blog for coverage of the event.
Sunday's weather looks good for a run - or very long walk for you marathon walkers. We've have a 50 percent chance of rain, according to the National Weather Service. It'll be cool as temperatures linger in the low 60s.
This morning, we're hitting the road to talk with marathoners, walkers and their fans about the important questions like, what do you eat before a marathon (in case you are wondering, I had toast, the recommended breakfast for morning bloggers), what keeps you going when the run gets you down and, of course, what's on your iPod this morning?
For your listening pleasure, we've dug up this pump-you-up classic sure to get you going this morning even if you're just hanging around the house.
Listen here:
Good luck, runners. We'll see you out there. Don't forget: Race time is 7 a.m. sharp. And if you have any thoughts about this blog or today's run, drop me a line .
