..."That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do; not that the nature of the thing is changed, but that our potential to do it is increased." -Heber J. Grant

My feet pound against the track every other day believing that at some point it will get easier. One day the burning in my chest will subside to calm rhythmic breaths. My joints will loosen and the sharp pains will transform to a dull pulsing. My body will go from this broken, inefficient mess to a strong, well-oiled machine. My mind will ease into thoughts of empowerment and the waves of discouragement will calm to a stillness. One day I will taste the success of this long-awaited achievement. One day I will know that I am capable of anything. One day I will understand perserverance on a new level....

Today, is not that day.
