I can now check Oregon off the “marathon in every state list.” Running marathon oregon portland shobe” After a four year hiatus, I ran marathon #24 in Portland today. My official time was 5:38 but there are some caveats that bring it down almost 20 minutes (to around 5:20). More on that in a bit. Once again I ran it with my running buddy Matt Shobe. This is the fourth marathon we’ve done together (Portland, Detroit, St. Louis, and Huntsville).

Business Management leadership Management oregon daily emeraldThe hardest lesson for a leader to learn, is when to leave something to someone else. The pressure of being in charge can cause them to think they need to be god’s gift to everything under the sun. Sometimes, that pressure can even trap them in cycles of hyper-managing, just to prove to their employees that they are worthy of their title.

My training has been going well and I’m now in a zone of 30+ miles a week with a long run once a week in the high teens. Today’s run from Aspen to Basalt was the best run I’ve had in over a year. Just under a year ago, I did this same run in 4 hours.
