Well it has clearly been a while, make that a long time, since I have blogged about anything! When we rang in the new year (ie: sitting on the couch with eyes propped open attempting to stay up until midnight) I decided that taking some time to make some thoughtful reflections was a must for the new year. Furthermore, 2012 is going to be a racing packed year as I build up to Age Group World's in Auckland NZ in October, and I figured what better platform to try to raise some money and awareness for Crohn's and Colitis! The last two years have been a roller coaster ride for my stomach and the more I learn about this somewhat elusive disease, the more I become convinced that I can do something, however big or small, to help find a cause and cure!
Since my last blog post, 2.5 years ago, there have been a few major life events: August 15th, 2010 got married to Mr. Kennedy. I am still trying to convince him we should go by KenWood but so far so luck! September 2009 I left corporate Calgary and headed back to school to fulfill a life time dream to do my teaching degree. Although the outcome wasn't quite what I had planned, teaching taught me that one needs to roll with the punches so I am doing just that and am back in corporate Calgary working with a great team where we spend at least a half hour a day on the topic of biking, running or swimming! Add into that Mom and Dad conquering Everest (basecamp but still a huge accomplishment), Dad completing his first ever Ironman, and Brother Stevie completing his Real Estate license and getting engaged, and needless to say there hasn't been a dull moment!
On that note I am going to keep this short as it is late and tomorrow morning is an early one so that I can hit up a 8am APH bike session in the hills of Tuscany (just up the road from Tuscany Drive - no vineyards and olive trees).
Until next time, namaste :-)
