motto

This is my new motto: Suck it up, buttercup. It gets me through the last few pushups or the last mile of a run. It reminds me that I CAN do this, and it also makes me laugh. Laughing gives me just enough pick-me-up to make it through. Try it next time you are struggling and maybe you, too, will feel the mojo of this motto.

Speaking of running, I have had three excellent runs in a row in which nothing really hurt and I didn't whine much. *A small miracle has occurred* I really needed some good runs because of my slacker ways over the last month and my various minor but highly irritating injuries. I'm feeling good about running again.
