When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Why is it sideways?

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Now wait a minute. I woke up this morning with a crushing headache from all the wine last night. And the apple brandy. Whoa. That was pain. But I HTFU'd. Through the pain. And had a great run! Wait. What were we talking about?

There is a line between HTFU and RICE. It is called pain. HTFU is not about running through pain. HTFU is about running when you know you need to but don't want to. HTFU is about finishing your tempo run - even when you aren't quite back in shape or getting tired. HTFU is about running when its cold or hot or humid or raining. HTFU is about running your long run (insert your own mile number here) while the rest of the family is still tucked into their beds. HTFU is not about pain.
I like the relationship they used in G.I.Jane ("Are you hurt, Ensign, or are you injured?") If you hurt, HTFU. If you are injured, or think you might be, RICE. And maybe get checked out.
She was a Lieutenant in G.I. Jane, methinks.
