Ragnar 2015: CHECK!

Well, last weekend I finished my second year of Ragnar and LOVED it! It was so deadly hot though compared to last year, but it was still worth every mile ran, every tear shed and every hour of sleep lost. This year, I did the same exact legs as I did last year. I ran a total of 22 miles again and I'm glad I did. I pushed myself, and had an amazing time. It was hard because I felt a little dehydrated on my first run, and realized that I should've drank a lot more water before it than I did. But, you make mistakes and you learn from them! My second leg had the most amazing sunset for the first mile-second mile. Then, the rest was in the dark! I wasn't as scared as I was last year thank goodness! It's probably because I knew what was coming. My last leg was HARD! Those hills are killer man, but the view is worth it. Overall, it was hard but I cannot wait for next year! I love my team and I love running! Ragnar 2016, I'm coming for you!!!! .... Training starts now right? ;)

Sunset on my second run!

EIGHTEEN DAYS.

You're probably wondering what's in 18 days. Well, I leave for LITHUANIA IN 18 DAYS!!! I cannot believe how fast its coming. I'm scared, nervous, excited, worried, happy, and everything in between!!! I feel like before I know it, I'll be getting on the plane bright and early heading out to a new adventure, living in a different country with girls I've never met for 4 months!!!! It's exciting and new, but I know this is something I need to do, and something I'll never forget or regret.

I've been working on my online training, and its a lot to taken in but so exciting! The way I'll be teaching is not like traditional teaching. I'll be teaching more by actions and objects and having the kids repeat things, describe them and really help them learn the language in a more natural way. I've also gotten my flight plan it makes everything else seem more real. 

I know before I know it I'll be starting to pack and then I'm gone. Heck, the next time I post on here, I'll probably be IN the country! I can't wait, and I'll keep this blog updated more than I have this summer. I can't wait for the experience, memories, and friends I'll make!
