August is going to be a super busy month (not complaining! all GREAT things!), and I'm super stoked for all of them for very different reasons....The second week in August, I have the WONDERFUL privilege of volunteering for a week at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, the original Hole in the Wall camp. Three years ago, I volunteered at The Painted Turtle, a HITW camp in California, when I flew out there to visit Amanda while she was living in LA. To avoid the cost of a flight, I decided to stick locally and applied to volunteer at the camp in Connecticut.
When I think about the training milestones I have ahead of me, I feel a range of emotions, and a lot of them are not the best ones - nervous, scared, worried, afraid. What if I can't do it? I feel so fortunate to have my week at camp come exactly one month before the half-marathon, the day when I will need to remember so clearly why I decided to take on this challenge in the first place, why I wanted to support the Hole in the Wall camps, and why I felt it so important to run with their mission in my heart. When I think about going to camp, I feel like a kid...I'm a little nervous, but I'm so excited. I'm pumped. I'm stoked. I just know how incredible I felt at The Painted Turtle...I can only imagine how magical it feels for children, which is exactly why I felt so strongly about running to raise money to help give a child that experience.
I can'tttt waittttttttt!
