Monthly Recap! July 2018

Posted August 10, 2018 by Wendy in recap / 0 Comments

The summer of crazy fun adventures continues with a jam packed July! I did manage to get some reading done and thank God for those audiobooks, right?? How was everyone else’s July? Tell me all about your summer adventures!

Favorite Things in July:

My summer of craziness continues! (But in a totally good way! It’s been filled with such fun adventures!) I did a Ragnar Northwest Passage at the beginning of July! For those that aren’t familiar with what a Ragnar race is, it is essentially a relay race with 12 people on a team and each person running three different times over the course of 36 hours, spanning about 200ish miles. Little to no sleep is involved. Whenever I tell people this, I usually get a “umm that sounds horrible” response but I had been looking forward to it for so long and it was SO MUCH FUN. I mean, there was a moment, when I was having really bad stomach problems (very common in runners) and it was like 5 am and I hadn’t slept that I was not really feeling all that great… but I rallied and got my energy back, took a 30 min power nap/doze around 9 am before my last leg! It was a wonderful, crazy, fun, tiring but amazing 36 hours with the best people <3 I miss it!

There’s a limited amount of time in the summer here that’s prime for overnight backpacking trips so at the beginning of the summer, we blocked out the weekends we’d be going to make sure we’d get a few trips in! At the end of July, we checked out Navaho Pass – it was overall a fun hike but it got COLD and I was layered up and shivering which made sleeping that night not as enjoyable. Oh well!
