September:
The 2 weeks seemed to drone on. On Friday
9/14 I was expecting to get the call from HealthCorps. I got a call at 5
pm, saying they still needed more time to work some things out and
would notify me by Monday. Just in case, I went back to Seville to pack
my stuff. I was unsure of where I would transport it all, but knew I
would be either making a move to Columbus or California. On Monday at
7:30 pm I got the call. They offered me a position in Redding, CA.
Long story short: I got the call on Monday, packed up my Columbus apartment on Tuesday and drove up to pack up my stuff from home, and started driving West first thing Wednesday.
My friend Audrey and I made the drive in 4 days. Each state we drove through I ran 1 mile.
Indiana: around Notre Dame campus
Illinoise: From Dunkin Donuts while Audrey got us coffee and down the road 4 minutes and back
Iowa: Along the river path in Des Moines
Nebraska: Around the hotel in Omaha.
Colorado: Around a lake near my friend Tyler's apartment in Denver.
Wyoming: Around the University of Wyoming campus
Utah: Around the hotel in Salt Lake City
Nevada: Around the Sparks Marina Park Lake in Reno.
California: Along the Great American Bike trail...and many more since :)
We arrived in Sacramento on Saturday night and on Sunday I started my 2 week training. After training I lived with a teacher from the new school I would be working at for 2 weeks- then moved into an apartment for about 3 months on my own, finally in January I got all settled and moved in with my friend Jessica.
The year flew by and was a whirl wind to say the least! Now that you're all up to speed on my life- it's time for some adventures!
