Things I’m thankful for on the race:

Mieta my teacher for loving me like I’m her own

Mac and bacon because it tastes so good 

My Sleeping pad because sleeping on the ground would SUCK

Cold weather because I hate the heat

My team because they fill me up 

Red Bull because energy 

Sunsets because they are FREAKING BEAUTIFUL IN SOUTH AFRICA 

Appletizer it tastes like sparking grape juice 

R. My favorite kid at school 

Overnight busses 

WiFi 

Lysol because I’ve had lice 5 times.

Ariel because she feels like home

Coffee shops

Deep conversations 

Movie nights 

Late night chats 

Belly laughs 

Dancing 

Walking barefoot 

Community. It gets HARD a lot but I love these girls more than life and I don’t think I could live without them.

Headphones because community is LOUD. 

 

These are are just a couple of the things I’m so so thankful for on the race!
