Not All Pain is the Same
Thanks for the nice encouragement Deene, Mike, Karen, Darrell, Biz Runner, Andrew, Jon and Chris. It’s great to know that, after all this time, people like you are out there listening and rooting me on.
I don’t think I’ll quite be ‘kicking butt’ – as Jon so eloquently put it – any time soon, but I am going to work hard at getting strong again. We’ll take it one day and one step at at time.
I’ve been in the gym twice since my shoulder finally allowed me to. I’ve been exceedingly sore for the couple of days after each workout.
Sore does not equal pain.
Pain is retreat. Pain is burdensome. Pain is depressing. Pain is debilitating.
Sore is growth. Sore is victory. Sore is joy. Sore is pleasure.
I’m not in pain. I’m sore. And I couldn’t be happier about it.

Think of pain as weakness leaving the body.
