POV: You’re supposed to be suffering through Zone 2 cardio… then Taylor Swift comes on and suddenly it’s a concert on wheels. 😂🚴‍♂️

Day 184 of training for the El Tour de Tucson and honestly? Sometimes the best thing you can do for your body and mind is stop taking yourself so seriously and just have fun with the ride.

That’s the wild thing about endurance training. Some days it’s pain caves, numb feet, cramps, and grinding through CMT symptoms. Other days it’s dancing on your bike like nobody’s watching.

And somehow… both count as progress. 🤘

🚨 ONLY TWO SPONSOR SPOTS LEFT 🚨

TEAM CMT UNBROKEN is officially down to the FINAL TWO business sponsor placements on this year’s cycling jerseys before production begins.

For just $150, your business logo will be featured on jerseys representing adaptive athletes and warriors taking on events like El Tour De Tucson and rides across Arizona.

And here’s the crazy part…

These jerseys aren’t disposable event shirts.
They’ll likely still be out on the road 10+ years from now.

That means your business won’t just sponsor a jersey — you’ll become part of stories of resilience, adaptation, grit, and hope that people will carry for years.

This is affordable, meaningful advertising with a mission behind it.

Once these last two spots are filled, the jersey design is finalized permanently.

My dogs love the fact that I have CMT because I’m forever dropping food 😂.

Two rescue dogs, one weirdo, and a highly trained service dog, all patiently waiting for a single crumb to be dropped.

I can hardly recall a time in my life when my feet weren’t cold or numb. I remember being young and the pain a warm bath would bring to my feet and legs. A million daggers all at once. A pain so intense the memory is burned into me and will stay there until the day I die.

For a long time, I found relief in summer. Almost as if the warmth and new life of the season somehow brought my legs back to life too.

But as I’ve gotten older, that cycle has changed. What was once only a winter problem slowly crept into fall and spring, extending the cold and numbing grip of this invisible monster further and further into my life.

Now at 42, the relief of summer hasn’t come. And deep down, I’m starting to wonder if it ever will again.

My feet are as cold and numb as they were when I was a child in the dead of winter. The numbness only interrupted by sudden bolts of searing pain shooting through them.

It may be too early in the season to say for certain, but I believe I’ve entered a new chapter of this disease… one where there is no longer a break in the summertime.

Where the cold, icy hands of winter may never fully let go again.

707.25 Miles Cycled This Month.

Street Parking’s May Meters Challenge was originally just about getting out and moving. My original goal was 200,000 meters. With Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, that already felt like a mountain to climb.

Now I’m sitting at 378,200 meters and making one final push toward 400,000 before the month ends.

What I didn’t expect was how much this challenge would reignite something in me.

Yeah, there were days where my hands cramped so bad I could barely grip the bars. Days my feet went numb. Days the tremors kicked up. Days my legs burned and balance became a fight the second I got off the bike.

But this challenge gave me a mission.

A reason to keep showing up before sunrise.
A reason to keep pushing through the pain.
A reason to keep fighting for every mile my body still allows me to ride.

And somewhere along the way, this stopped being about meters.

It became about freedom.
About refusing to surrender pieces of myself without a fight.
About proving that even with CMT, there is still life, adventure, grit, and joy left in these legs.

707.25 miles ridden so far this month.

Every ride hurt a little.
Every ride healed something too.

Few days left.
One final push toward 400K.

Day 3 update: down 5 pounds, still training hard, still learning, still adapting. One meal, one workout, and one choice at a time.

One thing I want this CMT Nutrition Challenge to highlight is that nutrition is not always simple when you live with a neuromuscular disease.

People love to say “just eat healthier,” but for many of us with CMT, even getting access to fresh food can be difficult. Grocery shopping can drain your energy. Standing in the kitchen can hurt. Cutting vegetables can become frustrating when your hands shake, cramp, or lose strength. Meal prep takes more physical effort than most people realize.

That’s why this challenge is not about perfection. It’s about adaptation. It’s about learning how to work with the body we have instead of giving up on it. Small improvements still matter. One healthier meal matters. One better decision matters. One day of consistency matters.

We may not control CMT, but we can still fight for our health, our strength, and our future one step, one workout, and one meal at a time.

Way to crush it Rebekah DeGroft!

CMT doesn’t care
how early it is,
how tired I am,
or how much my body hurts.

But neither do I.

One more ride.
One more day adapting,
fighting,
and refusing to quit.

One of the hardest things about living with CMT is the internal tension it creates.

The tension between who you are… and who you want to be.

Between the life you imagined… and the life your body sometimes allows.

For a lot of people, this tension comes from pretending to be something they’re not.

But with CMT, it’s different.

A lot of us know exactly who we are.

We know the parent we want to be.
The athlete we want to be.
The partner we want to be.
The adventurer we want to be.

But the disease creates barriers between our identity and our reality.

And that creates friction inside the nervous system every single day.

Because your spirit may still want to charge forward while your body struggles just to keep pace.

And if we don’t address that tension, it slowly turns into chronic stress.

Stress that can fuel anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, poor sleep, high blood pressure, inflammation, and nervous system exhaustion.

So how do we fight back?

First, with acceptance.

Not surrender.

Acceptance.

Acceptance that you are still worthy while adapting.
Acceptance that your value is not measured only by physical ability.
Acceptance that doing your best in a difficult body still counts.

And then we disclose.

We stop carrying everything alone.

Because one of the most powerful things you can do for the nervous system is speak honestly to another human being you trust.

A friend.
A coach.
A therapist.
A spouse.
Another warrior.

Someone who can help you carry the emotional weight for a moment instead of forcing you to hold it all internally.

Because warriors were never meant to fight every battle alone.

And maybe the goal is not becoming the exact person we once imagined.

Maybe the goal is learning to respect the warriors we became.

Strength. Identity. The courage to adapt.

TEAM CMT UNBROKEN is proud to announce another incredible jersey sponsor for this year’s El Tour De Tucson journey — Para Apparel.

Founded by Adam Cord, Para Apparel is more than a clothing brand. It’s a movement built for adaptive athletes and the disability community.

Adam was born deaf and has worn a cochlear implant his entire life. Sports became the place where he wasn’t “the deaf kid” — he was simply a competitor. During the pandemic, when masks made lip reading nearly impossible overnight, he was forced to adapt every single day just to keep up. Instead of quitting, he built something meaningful from that struggle.

That journey led to the creation of Para Apparel — a brand built for the people who adapt daily, fight through barriers, and continue showing up anyway.

That mission is exactly why TEAM CMT UNBROKEN is honored to carry the Para Apparel logo on this year’s jerseys as we ride to raise awareness for CMT, adaptive athletes, accessibility, and the warrior mindset of adapting and moving forward.

Please take a moment to support this amazing small business and the mission behind it:

I got this gift to keep track of my bicycle miles for the year, and I both loved it and hated it at the same time.

I love seeing the miles sitting there on my desk every day while I chase this goal of 5,000 miles for the year. But with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, I also knew something as simple as changing those numbers would sometimes become frustrating. Hands shaking. Fingers not cooperating. Dropping pieces. Fighting with something most people would never think twice about.

And honestly… that’s exactly why I decided to lean into it.

Not get angry.
Not avoid it.
Not let frustration win.

Just keep doing the hard thing day after day and remind myself that maybe this struggle is helping me grow. Maybe those tiny repetitive movements are helping me maintain function. Maybe the challenge itself is strengthening something deeper than muscle.

CMT forces us to fight for things other people never even notice. But sometimes growth lives inside those small daily battles.

2639 miles down. Still moving forward.
