261: a break to Eugene

We came up this weekend for a couple of races - I did an 8k yesterday and Kevin did a half today. It is SO nice to be back. It is really making me miss it here. It is so nice to be able to let the girls just run around outside, ride their bikes, play in the sprinklers, play with their friends (!), and to be able to see my friends, and it is real summer weather! It has been mid-80's every day so far and is supposed to stay like this all week. It was nice to be here as a family, all four of us, and to be in our space that feels more like home. Kevin had to head back this afternoon, but the girls and I are staying through the week because I have a meeting that I want to go to. I'm so thankful for this break to Eugene - I feel like it is going to be the little rejuvenator that I need to go back to Brookings for another month.
