I HEART PAIN

There is a painting in Cody's studio made by a kid for him which says, "I heart pain." That is exactly how I am feeling right now. Every time I go down some stairs or get up out of a chair, my legs cry out in pain. And I love it. It reminds me that I am alive, that I just ran 13.1 miles two days ago, that I am able to run, walk, sit, stand and feel pain. I have such gratitude for these simple pleasures. Love the pain. Getting ready for some more running!
