Well, before the Race as most of you know I told you I would be posting blogs at least once a week to update you on my experiences. As you can see, that didn’t happen and this journey is coming to a close in two months. I also told people I was planning on videotaping everything and taking so many pictures to record this year…well, that didn’t happen either. I made all these plans as to how I would document my Race, but as I am learning, things don’t always work out the way you plan for them to. For months I felt as if I let my supporters down by not keeping them updated. I felt embarrassed that it was even posted in the local newspaper twice for people to follow my blog. What I am learning is that I am the kind of person who needs to process my experiences in my own mind. Some people on the Race journal every single thing that they experience, and that is their way of processing through things. Me on the other hand, I have never kept a journal and when I tried to on the Race I ended up tearing up the pages and throwing them in the trash. I word things in my mind to perfectly explain exactly how I feel and what an experience was like, but the minute I try to put it on paper or write a blog about it, I become lost for words and it never comes out right. So then, I choose not to post anything. I want to apologize for my lack of updates, but I also want to let you know that if anyone would like to sit with me when I get home, I would love to tell you everything.
