I can’t believe Training Camp for the World Race is in 11 DAYS!
WHAT?! Where did the time go!!?
I’m so excited for all that is to come, as I have been trying to prepare mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically for this next season of life.
I will be at Training Camp for the World Race August 10-20 in Gainesville, Georgia!
One of the physical requirements of Training Camp is to hike 3 miles in 50 minutes with all of our gear (backpack, daypack, tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad… err’thang).
We get the opportunity to complete this challenge with our team! I am SO ready to meet my team face-to-face, as I have been so encouraged by all of the messages in our WhatsApp group text.
It’s such a fun group… shout out to #wOlfpackstrong O Squad!!!
I filmed a video a few weeks ago when I first began the training for the 3 mile hike in 50 minutes with all of my gear! My friend Kellie (who is seriously the most supportive friend EVER) and I have committed to doing 1-3 hikes around Green Lake (Seattle, WA) per week with all of my gear! I’m trying to vlogging as a way to tell stories and invite YOU ALL into this journey… so take a look and let me know what you think! 🙂

Speaking of gear… it seems like my days are filled with multiple trips back and forth to REI to purchase, exchange, return, and research my gear for the World Race!
I’m still in need of 10-15 items for my trip, but the Lord has been SO faithful to provide people in my life who have wanted to contribute specifically towards funding my gear! It was definitely a worry of mine, but again… the Lord provides ABUNDANTLY.
On the topic of raising funds, I wanted to update everyone that I am officially $10,650 fundraised... WOAH. Y’all… THANK YOU. I am beyond grateful!!!
My new route is $15,500…
so I only have $4,850 to fundraise until I’m fully funded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
