What I got was so much more than I ever could have imagined. The runs were very challenging (at times I thought I might throw up) but the views were spectacular. We saw wildlife, waterfalls, snow, flowers, rocks, hikers, and more. We did trail running, pool running, sprints, tempo runs, and a few easy runs. The runs were both long and short; up and down.
Most of all, however, the 5 women who were strangers at first truly connected. We all truly supported one another with love and compassion. There was none of the cattiness or competitiveness that often happens when you put a group of women together. All of us are going through and working through a difficult time in our lives and we were able to talk about it and process it with one another. There was no judgement; only love and support.
It truly was a life-changing experience. The 5 of us have already planned our reunion….at a marathon in Baton Rouge. We have made life-long friends and will continue running and supporting one another. Meeting these incredible women from around the country ( and one was from Canada) was the most rewarding part of the camp experience.
