I was so sore from Wednesday, that I knew Friday would be hard. Surprisingly, the exercise was not as bad as day 1. I didn't get the same nausea feeling. I wasn't reminded of labor pains. And when the workout started wearing me out, I tried to just stare straight ahead and look at the trees to not focus on being tired. I know I could have focused on how hard everything was, but I also knew I didn't want to give up. I began to look at this experience as an excercise of mind. I am already an overthinker, so maybe that's why I enjoyed the challenge of not letting the workouts get to my head. You'll see as I share more, that it didn't always work completely, but the idea of developing mental strength did push me. And there was something beautiful too about being outdoors that allows you to go to some other place, even in the worst of it.
