What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

That was the song playing this morning as I tried to run.  I grinned through my frustration because I thought how appropriate it was today. 

I haven't exercised for a week and holy treadmills it makes a difference. Two of the days I got called in early to teach Seminary which I loved and so I should have made time afterwards but I got busy and didn't.  Then I developed a migraine which lasted for three days.  It kept coming in waves and wasn't anything I care to repeat in the future. Everything I have heard or read tells me I can't exercise during a migraine (not that I would have been able to anyway) so when I finally felt better but weak yesterday I rejoiced. 

I think my motto should be two steps forward and about ten back.  I have finally come to the realization that my goal may not be attainable as soon as I wanted but I WILL run that 5k!  Lorie if you are reading this, it isn't an excuse just a declaration of resolve.  I am going to run,  I am going to get in shape, and actually I think the migraine issue will resolve itself the healthier I become.  If not then I will have to overcome another weakness and actually show up at a doctor's appt. lol.

Thanks all of you who are my examples in this!!!
