A year of change: Kellie is 45 years old and training for her first IRONMAN..and Pole Dancing!

The before and after...my yearly review of Life!

SO much has changed in one year...365 days ago I thought I was happily married and in a good frame of mind , physically I was in good shape and training for my first half iron man...getting ready to move into my new position at TMH and take on my dream job...Little did I know that in less then three weeks after that, my whole world would come crashing down around me....

What have I learned in the last 365 days...I have learned that if you are not happy make a change... if you see something not right, fix it...if there is a person in your life is not being honest ::::: KICK HIS/HER ASS TO THE CURB!  

I have learned I am stronger then I ever thought I was, I have learned to change headlights, change windshield wiper blades...Drive myself any and everywhere and not get totally lost...  That I  do not need to have someone else in my life to make me feel complete...

I have learned I have some of the most amazing friends and family anyone could ever ask for,..

In the last year I have completed 3 half marathons, 2 half iron man, started to rain for a FULL IRON MAN and got a couple of new tattoos.

Nov 2 , 2013

I just turned 45 y/o and I  have never felt this good in my life....I am by far in the healthiest mind, body and spirit........I have been in my whole life.

On April 14th I circled a major loop in my life.  I have completed 5 full years of running and racing.  By completing the RIDA 2013 race, I had done it for the 6th time.  2008 thru 2013...I even set a Personal Record for the 5 k distance at this race this year.  27:02 for 3.1 miles...Yahoo!

Training is going well...lots of SWIM BIKE RUN...doing a little strength training and yoga with it as well..setting PRs in the 5 and 10 k distances...Last October I set a PR at the 13.1 at The Newport Half Marathon.

On May 9th my 45th BIRTHDAY....I was at work at 430 am and giving some in-services all morning then ending my day at work by giving an in-service at a local visiting Nurses agency....Then spent the evening relaxing at the house.  At Midnight I went to the T.F.Green and picking up SPARKY!!!!   Yes one of my best friends came home for the weekend and I am so excited...(I know the real reason is so she can see her Mom for Mothers day...but it just so works out that she will be here for my B-day Party!!!!!)

Friday the 10th was my B day party and we were suppose to take a pole and chair dance class but the instructor no showed on us.  We went to Olives instead and had drinks and dancing, We had a blast....
