Work put in. Skills sharpened. Energy up. My two boxers stayed locked in and had fun doing it. This is how we stay war ready at Churchill. 🥊 #WarReady #boxingstrengthandconditioning @athleticevolutionla by @ryankelley_

Stayed down. Came up. God made a way. Still in the trenches—but still trusting.

Las Vegas with the family to celebrate another year 39, to be exact.
Each year, I grow closer to God and more grateful for the journey.

The best way to honor my grandmother is by carrying forward the legacy she laid: family, faith, and Las Vegas!! All while striving for greatness through His eyes, not mine. That’s what would make her proud. She loved to brag on me—and I carry that love with purpose.

March has always been more than my birthday month—it’s the true start of my year. A time of reflection, joy, and renewed direction.

Thank you to everyone who made this birthday special whether you messaged, gifted, or blessed me with every one of my favorite sweets (literally every last one—I was sugar-filled, yo!).

To my wife, my love—thank you for always being down for my shenanigans. We find joy in every adventure together. ♥️

To see my kids smile, laugh, and look forward to adventure—that’s the real gift. Life isn’t just about the grind. Sometimes, you’ve got to let your hair down, let loose, and just be a kid.

I’m overjoyed to be able to give these experiences to my family.

To my mother and the rest of my family—thank you for the love and support rooted deep in the legacy of J.S. Smith and Darnetta Lloyd.

To my church family—thank you for challenging me to be great, to be bold in Christ, and to live wildly in love with God and His Kingdom.

Shalom.

Where We Ate – Vegas Birthday Weekend Edition:
• Grand Lux Café – A solid first stop, comfort food with style.
• 2 Whole Foods Take-Home Pizza – Baked it fresh at our Hilton Grand Vacations suite. Nothing like homemade in a 1-bedroom with a kitchen.
• Oyster Bar at Palace Station – Stood in line for 45 minutes—and it was worth every second. That seafood hit!
• Buffet at Excalibur – Vegas buffet tradition. Family-style feasting on full.
• Date Shake Stop – A must-have if you’re driving in! Hit the date shack about 30 miles out—classic road trip fuel. taken in The Boulevard, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club by @ryankelley_

5:05 AM. Lights. Camera. Action. Mind locked in.
Before the reps, before the sets… there’s the strategy.
Not just because they’ll ask, “So what we got today, Coach?”
But because discipline starts with preparation.
.
Quote of the day:
Discipline opens doors that motivation can’t even knock on. Rise early. Pray with faith. Move with intention. Win the morning, Win the day and Praise God!

Don’t just train hard—train with purpose.
Think sharp. Move sharp. Live sharp. @athleticevolutionla #whiteboardwisdom taken in Los Angeles, California by @ryankelley_

P.C. Shockwaves Invitational…..watching my son compete in just his second track meet ever was incredible. In every race and heat, he held his own, finishing 3rd or 4th out of 7 with a solid time. But the real win? Watching him cross that finish line with heart and hustle. You did it, son! Soak in that feeling… we’ll talk about winning later. What matters now is your belief—your whole family already believes in you and is proud beyond words.

I love track and field because it tests your mental fortitude and ability to perform under pressure—even at a young age. Don’t shrink. Stand tall, shine bright, and run your race… literally. #evolve taken in Cerritos College by @ryankelley_

Post-race love hits different. After giving it their all at the PC Shockwaves Track Meet, big bro gets the best kind of finish line reward—hugs from his biggest fans. Moments like this remind us what it’s all about—family, support, and showing up for each other. PC Shockwaves brought the heat, but love brought the heart. Nothing beats the moment your kids rush the field because they’re just that proud. taken in Cerritos College by @ryankelley_

New Year’s Eve was a vibe of its own in Temecula! We kicked off the night with family-friendly fun at the 9pm Grape Drop and ended it with an intimate dinner at The Goat and Vine. Let me tell you…..this spot did not disappoint. 🙌🏿 Fresh, hand-tossed pizza made to order: Hatch Chile Honey Chicken (🔥amazing!) and their classic Pepperoni (a must-have). Honestly, we’d order the same thing again today.

Life’s been busy these past couple of months, but moments like this with you, @megankelley.mp4 , make it all worthwhile. Here’s to our next date night….always better together. ❤️ #DateNightVibes #TemeculaEats #NewYearsEveAdventures” taken in The Goat And Vine Inc by @ryankelley_

Most people won’t understand why I decided to run in a ALL COMERS track meet at 38. Hence “All comers” Some will undermine it, some will think I have ‘better’ things to do. Well, I do! And I do those things too. Who cares anyway? It’s never been about outsiders.

Life is short…subjectively speaking……so you have to make the most of what you’ve got. I believe in maximizing my time because no man knows the day or the hour. While some are focused on being the baddest chick or the toughest dude, I’m in my lane—literally—working to be the best, sharpest version of myself. Physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally for my Wife, family and those I service.

From high school to college, track has always been in my DNA. And today, I was here to participate and measure where I’m at……through this season, I expect to win! This is how I want to start my year—doing what fulfills me while living a purposeful life servicing others.

2023 and 2024 were heavy—again, in 2023, the loss of my grandmother, the matriarch of our family, was tough. This is one way I’m dealing with my grief. She would love to see me compete at anything. And 2025 seems to be starting the same way. But I can only control what I can control—my time, my energy, and my lifestyle. Proud of me today! Time to sharpen the blades and get to working on my speed, strength, and endurance. If you don’t use it, you lose it. Trying to keep it as long as possible—and maybe inspire someone on the journey. #togodbetheglory @iamsimonemcmullen 📸
