Tomorrow Is My Fight Song

I turned this song up in the car and started belting out the words.  Tears started to stream down my face, which made me sing even louder Just FYI, when I sing, it sounds like a cat is getting violated!  I know many of you know this song.  It's been an anthem for me since the moment I first heard it.  

• All those things I didn't say, Wrecking balls inside my brain: Was cancer going to win?  Can I do this?  I'm going to fight it, but it's going to be tough.  Why me?  
• I will scream them loud tonight, can you hear my voice this time: Dear cancer.  I WIN!
• This is my fight song: My one year cancerversary is tomorrow.  And I will send cancer out by finishing 13.1 miles.  I am stronger than ever.  A hell of a lot stronger than my cancer.
• Take back my life song: I won't let cancer consume me (literally or figuratively).  Will be the best me possible and I will be there for my family.  Again, I WIN! 
• Prove I'm alright song: Doctors are still making me go through lots of tests, but I know I'm alright.  Running 13.1 miles will prove that to a person. 
• My power's turned on: God is my power and has always been turned on.  I've learned I'm powerful, too.  
• Starting right now, I'll be strong: I've been strong.  And will continue to be strong.  
• I'll play my fight song and I don't really care if nobody else believes: Truth is, my amazing support system has always believed in me.  The difference is that now I believe more in myself.  Thank you cancer for allowing me to see that gift.  
• 'Cause I've got a lot of fight left in me: AMEN!  My life isn't over.  In fact, this new chapter is just beginning and I couldn't be more excited about it.  

Fight Song by Rachel Platten

Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep

Everybody's worried about me

In too deep

Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)

And it's been two years

I miss my home

But there's a fire burning in my bones

Still believe

Yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion

This is my fight song (Hey!)

Take back my life song (Hey!)

Prove I'm alright song (Hey!)

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

No I've still got a lot of fight left in me

My shirt for the race

My running partners, Carrie and Whitney.
These ladies are amazing and I am so thankful for them.  We've logged a lot of miles and have also logged a lot of real, genuine conversations in the process.  So glad I get to do life (and a half marathon) with you ladies!
