I have recently found a new 'hobbie' I suppose I could call it. I never have really enjoyed running, but I was determined to find something I liked. I guess I didn't like it because I wasn't good at it! I finally gave it another try-and this time I liked it! It makes me feel so good afterwards just because it is not easy for me. I would usually run a little and then walk(a lot!) then jog a little more. I have officially started running the entire time which may sound silly, but I'm very proud of myself. After I finish I am exhausted and sweaty, trying to get my heart race to normal-but it feels awesome and the next day I come back wanting to do it again! It just tells me I really can do it! Here is one of my all time favorite quotes by Lance Armstrong:

"Pain is good because it teaches your body and your soul to improve. It's almost as though your unconscious says, 'I'm going to remember this, remember how it hurt, and I'll increase my capacities so that the next time, it doesn't hurt as much'. the body literally builds on your experiences.....because it has the memory to build upon. Maybe the same is true of living too."

Isn't that the truth-maybe especially in living.
