What is your Why?

We ponder this in the middle of a lung busting, leg burning workout some days.

In the past seven days, I have managed to taste the plasma from my lungs at the end of three different workouts.  It makes your teeth hurt.  The copper taste of your own blood in your mouth makes you wonder.  It takes longer to recover from the workout than the workout itself.  There is no place you can go, no position you can get in that is comfortable.  Only time and the natural rush of blood flushing out the accumulated after effects of the workout from your muscles makes you feel better.

Ever cough all night because of your workout?  We do.

Some are afraid to feel this way, and push this hard during a workout.  Us?  Our little “cult?”  Our little group of  “overachievers?”  We are afraid to not feel this way!  We are afraid to NOT feel this way!

Killing the Coward Within.  That’s what we do here most days.  Go kill your coward.  Some people never face him.  We regularly meet him, greet him, and then punish him.

What is your why?
