After a few setbacks we have made it to Oregon. The journey here was longer than expected, but we saw some great sights a long the way, and met some nice people!
I started running this morning from Cannon beach. It was perfect weather for a 38 mile run, cool and sunny. there was about 20 minutes of rain towards the end of the day, but really it was ideal running weather!
Cannon Beach was beautiful, the kids enjoyed playing in the sand, and despite the cool temperatures, even managed to get soaking wet.

It was a good day, I am a little sore and tired,, but looking forward to what tomorrow holds!

Anthony Rimel, from the Cannon beach gazette met us this morning to take a few photographs of the start of the run. he write this article last week:  http://www.cannonbeachgazette.com/news/local_news/article_7d926a22-ad23-11e1-aa64-001a4bcf887a.html

and will include an update and photo soon.


We stopped for dinner at camp 18 restaurant. its an old logging site, and has really neat wood carvings and lots of fun things to look at. The kids loved the wooden bears inside, and the warm fireplace and comfy couches!

Once we are able to get the photos off the camera we will upload a few from the first day!

I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from people tracking my progress today through My Athlete live.
