What don’t kill you make you more strong?

I have been pushing myself more in the last two weeks and believe that in doing so I am getting better faster. For example, yesterday I mowed the entire lawn for the first time including trimming. After a quick rest I went to a friends for a corn roast. I was home early by 8 PM and was in a good deal of pain. I thought that I would wake up too sore to go downtown to pick up some recording equipment.

To my surprise I felt great this morning! And the more I think of it the more I believe that I am healing through these ‘feats of strength’ as I call them. I went to a concert last weekend and thought I would pay for it, but felt invigorated the next day. Ditto for the day after cleaning up the basement after a minor flood.

I understand that I have limitations. This was evident the other day when I tried to run after my cat. My brain said ‘run’ but the legs did not respond. It must have looked pretty funny because Lisa got a chuckle out of it.

Please respond with similar stories. Perhaps you felt the opposite after some vigorous activity? I purposely made the title of this thread a question because you may feel differently.

I’m off to chuck some bales of hay around;) :p I wish you all well in your ‘feats of strength’!:)
