I hate to say it...

Yesterday, I went jogging, and at about minute 15, I was really feeling it. I wanted to stop, but I also wanted to keep pushing myself, because I knew this was the kind of discomfort that builds muscle, not the kind that means you should worry about injury.

So, I started thinking to myself, "Come on, you can do this. What do you think you are? The Democratic Party, giving up when things get tough?"

That led to a blog post yesterday, and a mild change in attitude.
