Learning To Love The Pain

For the last few months, a friend has talked me into going to a ridiculously early Boot Camp class at the gym.   It's on Monday mornings and, without fail, Tuesday morning I wake up sore.  Sometimes it's my legs, sometimes it's my arms, sometimes it's my abs, sometimes it's a combination of all of these.
Today is no different.

However, as much as I'm grunting and groaning and struggling to move without pain, I secretly love it.  You see, I love it because it means I've done something.  It means I've worked hard.  It means that, while I'd rather be sleeping, I dragged my carcass out of bed anyway.

So, while the pain has made my Tuesday rowing class much harder than it used to be, I still love it.  I love knowing that I've worked hard.  I love knowing that my muscles are changing and getting stronger every day.  So, bring on the pain!
