Lemons

Distance running has given me yet another analogy for life.

When life gives you lemons make lemonade, right?

Or not.

Today after I finished my short run (5 miles!) and came into the kitchen to get some water, I saw a bag of lemons on the counter. I had set them out to make lemonade. My body had other ideas, though....apparently I'm vitamin C deficient at the moment.

I grabbed a lemon, sliced it, cut the slices in half (so I had little half moon shapes) and ate it. All but the peel.

The weirdest thing was that at first they tasted like lemons, but then in between slices the aftertaste was super sweet.

So when life gives you lemons, cut them to pieces and suck the life out of them to rebuild you and make you stronger!
