12 Days Post Biopsy

12 days post biopsy and cleared to swim! Haven’t been to the gym since my diagnosis. Today, I almost let my fear and sadness win, and in my head I heard the words “I can’t do this” about going to the pool. 

Then I went to the pool. Because I CAN do this. I went to that place I go to during an Ironman when my body wants to quit and my mind takes over. You CAN finish. You CAN do this. 

And so I swam - and as I’ve learned from my amazing team @biscaycoaching today was mental fortitude in the bank. Today I overcame my fear, my sadness, my anxiety, and I swam. Every small win adds up to a victory.
