A month from today I’ll be traveling to Belize, and thus beginning my World Race journey.
1 month………crazy
Coming home from training camp has been easy for me, but it has also been hard as all of the emotions that I experienced on and off these past 10 months and all the things that I knew were coming are here and about to happen took their toll on me, but in the end I am relieved that its all over for now. People have asked me “Are you nervous?” and I can honestly say that if you had asked the old me that question then yes I would have said that I was extremely nervous, but now after training camp & getting baptized which freed me from those thoughts of nervousness among other emotions. I can now say with confidence that No I’m not nervous, and that I am actually very excited about this journey.
When I left training camp, my first thought was that this is great its done, and I can push everything to the back of my mind, and in a way “forget” about the World Race, training camp, fundraising, and even my squad/team for at least a few weeks, and relax plus focus on my immediate tasks ahead.
Nope Nope Nope and Nope as my impending launch is even more so on my mind 24/7
So here’s a little update:
1. I am finally done with all of my injectable vaccines!!!!!!!
2. I am on track to make my 10k goal!
3. I have officially submitted my 2 weeks notice
4. The couch in my parent’s dining room is slowing beginning to fill up with my gear
5. I realize that saying goodbyes won’t be that hard for me, but there are a few exceptions
6. My social calendar is quickly filling up
7. I have no clue about how I am going to pack all my gear in my backpack
8. I am enjoying my quiet alone time as much as I can
9. My 33rd year is gonna be a great year
I have also come to the realization that I am about to spend a year living with 5 other gals, and for me that is something that I haven’t done that since college, so I am going to have learn to adjust to that once again. I’ve already had some practice with that when we all had to sleep in a community tent one night at training camp.
So here’s to the next few weeks left that I have here in the USA, and the beginning of my journey as the next part of my journey begins now
Til next time your fellow sister in Christ,
