Push Through The Pain

 

Athletes know about pain. They feel it every day.

Pain comes when they push their bodies to the breaking point. In exercise. In eating. In resting.

Every practice, every competition, every workout… Their body is being torn apart.

Pain enters and leaves their bodies. Yet they continue to enter the pain zone. Not only that, they push through the pain zone.

As they push through the pain zone, athletes realize something. Pain is only temporary. If you go long enough, you can get through the pain.

My body remembers the motions, but the body has lost its endurance. Within minutes, my body wants me to quit. My body is screaming at me that running hurts.
