Getting better with age

I just saw my friend Marthe, who is about 15 years older than me. She is buff! She does crossfit. I swear, she has the bod of a 25 year old. Seeing her calmed me down. Your bod can still be awesome at any age. I am f-in ready to grapple tonight. I am motivated!

5 minutes of survival

Today I was ready to grapple Jay. Jay is super fit and can kick my ass in 5 seconds or less. Oh yeah. I was psyched. Oleg didn't pair me with him. I had to go into the ring with Chris, a skilled kid in high school. Last time he submitted me three times. Well, this time, he submitted me at the end of our grappling -5 minutes or so? I survived for 5 min - I am ready to grapple Jay. Come and get me stud.

Nothin's gonna stop me

I have a herniated disc in my neck. Sometimes it is so bad that I can't feel my hands. So, what am I gonna do? Whine? Stop grappling? HELL NO! Actually, the past few times I've gone, I have picked up the throws and moves faster than some of the guys. Oleg said, "All the other girls/women just show up once - they are posers. Bonnie is the real deal." Damn, that's a major compliment from Oleg! So, as I age, things will hurt more. Will I stop doing MMA? Never. Nothin's gonna stop me....
