Call Me A Zombie.....

...Because I'm back from the dead!!!

Here's a quick recap of the last....three months.  (Holy crap!!  I did not realize that I was gone for that long!)

July
I spent July tromping around Africa.  Yeah, NBD.  

We started in South Africa......

And then headed to Namibia.....

We saw some awesome animals there like an elephant who tried to run us over.....

We ran from the elephant straight to Botswana.....

...where we learned that life isn't always easy in Africa.  This little guy was only a couple of years old.

Next up was Zimbabwe with Victoria Falls....

And our final sunset in Africa.....

But I couldn't leave Africa without meeting up with the super amazing Johann and his super adorable son!
A dads and kids pic!

Scout's honor, I won't go disappearing again.  Not only were things crazy busy, but a lot of life was up in the air.  In short, my life was a bit of a hot mess.  It was difficult to blog and talk about life and running when I barely knew what was going on with either.  Things are more so under control now and I'm here to stay.  Promise!!
Next up....August and September!

Yay! I am SO glad you are not dead, or missing, or relocated to Africa in a place with no internet. Missed reading your posts! Ran my first half in true penguin fashion and thought of you!

Liz said...

Welcome back! Looks like you had an amazing time in Africa!

Johann said...

Great to see you posting again! I was looking at some penguins at the zoo the other day and thought about you. My son reminds me about Disney basically every day. Some awesome Africa photos!

So glad you're back!! I missed the crazy penguin! haha And I'm glad things are working out now for you :)

Africa looks gorgeous and I'm beyond jealous!!

And remember if any of that stress and "hot mess" is from med school worries, email me and I'll get you my dad's email (he's a dean of a med school and always helping people out in one way or another).
