i took a chance

dad said to fight through the pain or maybe it's not meant to be....i decided i wanted to fight through the pain. i took a chance. this is what happened.

today, i decided to saddle up.

today, i felt like a champion.

today, i ran 15 minutes and then biked for 25.

today, i did leg weights.

today, i had no pain.

today and forever, i thank God.

today, i have a smile on my face that hasn't been there in a long time.
