My 40th Year!!!!

 

 

 

I cant believe what a year this has been. I started this blog exactly 1 year ago on my birthday. It started off with a picture of my mother and I way back on my 25th birthday. I didn't know what the year had in store for me. Looking back, it was one of the most amazing years of my life. 

So many new experiences, places traveled, new people met, challenges faced and goals achieved. My 40th year began with me completing 10,000 kettlebell swings. It was just the beginning. Less than 30 days later I traveled to San Diego to participate in the Russian Kettlebell Challenge Instructor Certification (RKC). I met amazing people, was inspired by them and was inspirational to them.

Still this was just the beginning of my year. Here's a list of my experiences
