Milestones

Five years ago today I graduated from COLLEGE. Wow.

If you told me five years ago, that I would live in Hong Kong longer than I've lived anywhere other than Jersey, I would have laughed.

One year ago, I was flying home for my baby brother's college graduation and best friend's wedding.

If you had told me then that I would spend seven days wandering through the Gobi desert, I would have asked what you were smoking.

Three weeks from today I will be flying to Kashi. Wow.

After being introduced to multiple ultramarathoners, I'm starting to understand why people spend six months training for this, but I am going to continue to think about this as an extended hike (and tent party), which is how I explained it to my mother.

Here we go...Giddy up.
