Well, Mommy and have been planning to go to cheer for Uncle Todd when he was running in the Portland Marathon. We've been talking about it all week. We even made a special shirt for me to wear!



Anyway, we had a plan but Mom realized that it wouldn't work with my nap time. Then we had plan #2 but Mom was worried about getting to that cheering spot with the bike trailer with the road closures. So.....plan #3 was pretty good. We would just run over to the race so we could navigate easier. It was a great plan except that I didn't want to get out of bed. Soooo, we were running late but we went as fast as we could. We saw people that looked about as fast as Uncle Todd when we were on the bridge...



...but the people we saw when we got off the bridge and down to the race were too slow. I cheered for Mommy to run faster and faster and we were passing all the people even though we were running on the grass and over curbs and stuff. I was having so much fun - I was giggling a little and grinning. I think we got really close to Uncle Todd but we missed him. We were cheering inside the whole time, really we were. Good job, Uncle Todd!
