For these next two weeks I am participating in the beginning
of a series of five GLOW camps in the Central District of Botswana. I will
write a blog post about the camps later on. However, in summation, the camps
are for four days each, and about 40 at-risk youth attend each camp. Sessions
run from 8 am to 8 pm almost every day, and are on the topics of life skills,
HIV/AIDS and gender-based violence.
Because of the camps, and how exhaustive they are, running
for these next two weeks has been a little tricky. Because I am partially in
charge of logistics, and am facilitating sessions, I have to get up very early
and run (so early I have to run with my headlamp). Luckily, there are three
other PCVs attending the camp with me who are also training for the marathon,
and therefore also have to run early. It is exhausting but the exercise helps
mitigate the general stresses of the camp.
In any event, running with a headlamp makes me feel badass.
And like a true runner. And it isn’t as hard as I thought it would be.
