Exercise Type: Run

Well, let me just say this: Today's work out was really hard! And I know that with pain comes success, but today was so tiring! --my two fitness classes today might have had something to do with that too, though;)-- What I did love about it, though, was how much I felt like a team. I would think about the pain, but then I would redirect my thinking to this: "We are struggling TOGETHER, as a TEAM. We are sharpening eachother, the benefit isn't only my own." After my thinking headed down that road, it made everything so much better. I love this team, I love how close we all are. I love running. And even though today was hard, it gave me a new perspective on suffering as a team. It seems as though when we run we think of it as an individual sport, but it definitely is not. I wouldn't improve if it wasn't for my teammates and coaches pushing me to go a little bit faster, run a little bit farther. I love everything about cross country, even the pain. :D
