We went to the Portland Thorns soccer game on Saturday in the late afternoon, vs Louisville Racing. It was perfect weather -- 65 degrees, sunny, pretty amazing for March. A whole lot of Liesl's friends were also there, in the same section, so it was fun for her to hang out with them.
The Thorns went down a goal in the first minute, and then went down another goal in the 5th minute. So it was an awful start, and they spent the entire game trying to claw their way back into it. They dominated the possession but didn't have many good chances. Finally, they scored midway through the second half, and then they tied it in the 99th minute - in extra time! The crowd went wild. Such a fun ending.
Earlier in the day, Jasper and I joined Anja for a 5.5 mile run in Forest Park. The dog was pretty exhausted afterwards -- he lay under this tree for a few hours, sleeping.
And this was on Friday afternoon - he dropped a ball into this deep hole in a grassy field, and then crawled underground like a rat terrier in order to fish it out again. He was so proud and happy. He was covered in clay-like mud from bottom to top.
