Past Travels: Eugene '08

One of these days, I have to move to Eugene, Oregon. It's Heaven for runners, Tracktown, USA. Hopefully I'll make it back this summer for the US Outdoor Track & field Championships, but it won't compare to last year's Olympic Trials.

For 2 weeks, I was breathing track and field, even more than I usually do. The best part was that so was everyone else. I could talk running with random strangers there, while back home people tune me out if I do.

Of course the races were exciting. The best was the men's 800m final. I'm so glad I was there in person to experience that, especially the celebration later that night. I don't think I slept at all while I was there, but I didn't care.
