Once again, I am hurting, but I worked out. I also didn't feel like running at all, but its over now and I feel good.
Like I said yesterday, the second day is going to be worst than the first day and it was. Half way through my run, I stopped. Yes, I stopped and I am not ashamed to say I did. It was for a brief moment because my knees were aching bad. But then I thought about what I posted yesterday and I started back running. I knew that they were hurting because they weren't use to the strain I was putting on them. Your body will tell you what you need to do sometimes if you listen. As I was running while my knees were hurting, my body begin to tell me that if you keep bending them, the pain will eventually go away. So I listened and started high stepping while running. Yes this looks weird, but it helped. After I did it a few times, I was back on my way to finishing my morning run.
This is just how life is; its painful sometimes, but you have to listen to the body of your life-God and he will tell you exactly what you need to do to make it through. I have a friend of mine right now who is pushing through the pain and is listening to his body-God, so he can make it through. He has sacrificed time away from his wife and traveling all the time. I asked him if he enjoyed it and he said "no, not at all. But its all worth it because I know that we are working towards something better and that's what keeps me going. Seeing my wife and my little girl happy and content is well worth what we have been through." You have to sacrifice at some point in your life in order to make your life better. No sacrifice, no better life!
