Eugene weekend in the books.
Started off terrible enough as our flight there got jacked up due to weather. Was supposed to arrive at 3PM with plenty of time to grab a few beers before seeing the Warren Haynes Band. Ended up arriving at 10PM and unfortunately no show. At least the brewery next to our VRBO was open until midnight.
On Saturday we ran the Duck Dash 5k then headed up to Silver Falls State Park for a hike with some old Austin friends who now live in Portland. Saw some cool waterfalls and grabbed a late lunch at the Silver Falls Brewery in Silverton, OR.
The marathon on Sunday went exactly how I thought it would go. Sub eight minutes miles for the first 19 miles, (3:29 pace), then the legs blew up and I limped to a 3:48 finish. You get the race you trained for. Even with the struggles over the final miles, I managed to at least appreciate the awesomeness of finishing on historic Hayward Field, a highlight of a long running career. State marathon number 30 in the books.
Went from the finish over to the Wild Duck for beers, then Track Town Pizza for pizza and more beers, then toured a bunch of dive bars and breweries. Sunday was a good day.
Visited Pre's Rock on Sunday, then jumped a plane to come home. Flight back to Colorado was much easier than the way out.
Legs are still sore AF as I write this on Tuesday.
