"Suck it up and drive on."
One of the few actual positive things I remember from Army basic training is the advice from the senior drill sergeant of my platoon: "Suck it up and drive on."
It's a more polite way of saying "shit happens" but it's also more positive; yeah, stuff happens, but deal with it and keep going.

(5K training, week 1, week 2, week 3)
A number of things kept me from following the program last week so I’m repeating week 4 this week. Last week, though:
Week 4 (first try)
Day 1 (should have been Wednesday, instead ran Thursday morning): Supposed to do 2.5 miles, did 3.1 (5K) in ~42 minutes as part of the “Virtual Turkey Trot” for DailyMile.
Day 2 (should have been Friday, instead ran Saturday morning): Supposed to do 2.5 miles, did 2 in ~21 minutes on the treadmill. I don’t know why I didn’t do those last two laps to complete the 2.5.
Day 3 (should have been Sunday): Supposed to do 3 miles, did not run.
