"I Remember When I Was So Strong"

We all fight various aches and maladies during our workouts. The next time I start to complain, I'll try to remember this note from a 40-year-old friend diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) a year ago. Just a few years earlier, she had earned a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. Now she's having trouble walking and taking care of her kids. She writes:
    "I rode the bike yesterday for 10 minutes and I was done. It makes me sad. I remember when I was so strong. It's amazing what we take for granted until we lose it."
