Pain = Profit

So you know me, right? The guy who quite literally runs out of breath from 10-15 seconds of running? I don't really consider myself physically out of shape, as I can work all day with my hands without tiring out unreasonably, but I've just never had that same conditioning in my legs. Today I decided to start the process of fixing that. I power walked the very mountainous trail near our house today, a little under a mile or so (?) both ways, without slowing or stopping except briefly where I turned around. My lungs hurt, so I kept going until they stopped hurting. My legs started to burn, so I kept going until they stopped burning. Something in my gut started hurting, so I kept going 'till that stopped hurting. After that I couldn't seem to walk straight for a little while, but I kept going anyway. Eventually I got home and took a cold shower, and now I feel phenomenal! Let me tell you, Teddy Roosevelt taught ME what to do with physical weakness, and it still hasn't steered me wrong yet! And thanks to God, who gave me strength for something I probably shouldn't have been physically able to do, at the very least without feeling fine afterwards.

Hopefully I can keep this up!
