Themes!

Jenn makes a good point today about pushing yourself. I was thinking about this yesterday as I jogged - something I hadn't done for two seasons - and remembered all those soccer practices that required pushing myself beyond the point where every cell in my body would have voted for dropping dead. Muscles cringing, wrung out, lungs burning, indignant. But that's when it's the most important to keep going, because that's the point you have to get past in order to be better tomorrow. Or whenever you can walk normally again.

It's the same way with classes and projects and running. The hardest part at the end is practically the only part that counts.
