And so I turned 44. And it was phenomenal. As a rule I don't lie about my age, in fact, I actually shout it out to anyone who is listening. Some might even say that I brag way too much about being 44. Ant they're right. You see, I am proud to be 44. And that's because even in my old age I am living my life to its fullest and attacking every dream I have ever had. I was lucky enough to figure out that life begins at 40, and that this version of me today is the best version of me, ever.
It is actually true that it is never too late to chase your goals and change your life. Standing here today I am not the same person I was last year, last month, or even last week. It really wasn't a conscious decision to go out and take life by the balls, it just sorta happened due to some crazy twists and turns that my life has decided to take, and because for whatever reason the right people are in my life, holding me up, and not letting me fail no matter how many stupid things I have done. And the stupid has been many lately. I won't even go into it but if you ask me, I'll whisper in your ear all the stupid things I've done in the last month :).
Anyhow, with all the stupid, my birthday came at exactly the right time and it coincided with some crazy things that made it all become a perfect storm for this phoenix to rise!!!
First up, Hibiscus Half Marathon. I wasn't confident because I hadn't run a long run in over a month, but in reality I am the strongest I have ever been due to Cross Fit and RIPPED class.
