Half the Fun

I finished the Helvetia Half Marathon today! My buddy Jenn put up with me for 13.1 miles. We arrived to the Hillsboro stadium with only 5 minutes to spare, but it was perfect. The run went great... Lovely country roads, a few challenging hills, and some stinky cows along the way. Matt, Kylie, and Greg(Jenn's hubby) were waiting for us at the finish line!

It was fun running into friends along the way- Jamie and Rachel!

Erin- a mutual friend who met up with me the first time I did the Portland Marathon.

My running buddy Jenn! Thanks for reminding me of the Jamba juice waiting for us at the finish!

The Cutest Town

We recently visited a quaint little town outside of Medford, called Jacksonville. We had a nice evening going to dinner at a local Bed and Breakfast, then strollin' the streets of this old mining town. We walked in the neighborhood looking at homes built in the 1860's. We also found a fun hiking trail. Kylie was excited to see deer and smell the flowers!

Jacksonville is home of the famous Britt Music Festival held there each summer.
