Eugene

We arrived in Eugene this evening. Rowan and I drove down to Portland to pick Joe up, then came the rest of the way to Eugene in heavy traffic. We're renting a one-bedroom apartment that is directly across the street from Hayward Field...we can hear all the announcers as I type. It's a short walk to the entrance of the track so it will be great not to have to worry about parking every day. It's craziness around here! Eugene is a huge track town, and the place is hopping. Joe went to get checked in and see if he could catch the end of the women's discus pre-lims.

Mostly I wanted to post a link to a story that appeared on the front page of the Stockton Record today. They have been doing a series of articles on different athletes training at Tri-Valley and last week they interviewed Joe, interviewed me, and took some photos. Click here to see the story.

They also took a photo of us with most of the people that live at our house...but they didn't publish it. I'll include it here so you can see the group. Behind us, left to right, is Nikki, Carly, Brian, Yoo, Katherine (holding Bentley), and Preya. Brad was missing and Stephanie was out of town.
