Butterflies

Everyone knows the feeling you get in your stomach when you're in an uncomfortable situation. You're a little nervous, restless, your palms starting sweating. It's the feeling of not knowing what lies ahead, of being taken out of your comfort zone. That's the feeling I get before I'm about to do a workout. I know I'm about to push the mental and physical limits of my body. My muscle and lungs will soon be screaming for more oxygen and the lactic acid will burn my muscles until it's almost unbearable. I fear that pain, but I crave that pain. I know if it doesn't hurt I'm not working hard enough. I mentally prepare for a WOD as if I was going to battle. It's me vs. the WOD. I'm not thinking about what I did yesterday or how anyone else did. I don't think of reasons why I can or can't do something. I'm only focused on winning that battle, beating that WOD. Sometimes my time is better, sometimes my time is worse. All I can do is give everything I've got.......and then come back to fight again.
