2/20/25 Hello Grace.



I
t’s crazy how cancer is actually pushing me to do things I never thought I was capable of. 

This morning, I woke up with a sore throat, stuffy nose and just feeling generally ICK.

Not today Satan.

I didn't want to miss my 5:30am workout.

Today was a 'benchmark workout' which essentially means a specific workout routine that is repeated over various intervals to measure fitness progress. 

I had never completed this benchmark. 

Grace = 30 clean and jerks at 95# as fast as possible.

I decided I wanted to get myself in the top three on the record board (at least before the other classes).

I accomplished that. I remained there through one class (HA) - then was knocked off by a matter of seconds. BUT I still moonlighted on it. I don't typically earn a spot on those boards - so this was a BIG win for me.

I then hit a strength workout, completing reps at a higher weight than I anticipated I would be able to do - especially after a benchmark workout. 

I rode the high of that workout throughout the day. 

I wore my fav new Eagles sweatshirt with rhinestone stars on the sleeve coupled with my fancy silver leather boots from Paris - I was feeling myself 😍😁 and I had a GREAT DAY, cancer and all. 

Some of my students even commented, "How are you like this? Like how are you not sad or upset?"

What choice do I have? Life goes on, boobies or not!


So cancer, you may be there and you may trying to take me down, but you f*cked with the wrong B.
