Today really wasn't my best day on the water. Ben put me in his race boat, which presents totally new challenges in itself. However, even with horrible times, it was still a great day to be on the water. With my training buddy's David and coach Ben at my side,  all you can really do is laugh.

That moment when you put your water leg on and you discover that half eaten bag of peanut M&M's you were looking for the other night just chillin' at the bottom, yeah, these are the moments of my life.

                                                     Just another beautiful day in Texas.

Today I was cornered in the dairy section of the grocery store for ten minutes while a woman held my hand and lectured me on how amazing it was that I was out in society doing "normal people" things.
But hey, at least she was holding my hand while insulting my intelligence.
To all my able bodied homies out there, please don't do this. 

Nothing like sprints first thing in the morning to get the blood flowin'.

Just another day at the office. 

Today was my first official day working at an after school daycare center. I gave a two minute speech about having a prosthetic leg and afterwards one of the kids gave me this. "He's just like Ms. Kelly!"

Oh hi. I am Kelly and I am a kayaker. This means my hands have huge holes and my hair is never dry. Welcome to my life.

                                And then sometimes this whole "bionic leg" thing ain't so bad.
