How fast can you run 10 blocks? We decided to leave the car at home, which involved dropping Jennifer off at the bus station while Kirsten drove home to return to the bus station on foot. No problem - except when you are pushing the limits of time. We dropped off the bags and the car, and Kirsten had 15 minutes to make it back before the scheduled departure. Running the distance in Crocs and with her purse, Kirsten made it to Jennifer, our bags, and the bus station with 5 minutes to spare. Happily, the bus was running 20 minutes late and Kirsten had time to get her heart rate back down! This trick deserves a special shout out to Ed, the distance runner who had previously informed us that the walk signal blinks 11 times before the light turns red - thanks, Ed, for saving me from oncoming traffic at two intersections.
We made it safely to Portland, where Todd and Perry hosted us at their lovely home for the evening. Sweet dreams of airplanes...
