CROSS-fit #88 Believe in the end

You know sometimes, you work out.

And it's hard, gosh it's so hard.

Like you run a 10km race and well. 

My goodness it hurts so much.

I'm not talking about Olympic athletes here, not like people like Usain Bolt or Phelps.

More like the normal guys, you and me.

Those guys have a solid pace, they know that each stride, one at a time makes a big difference.

For us, we just do it, well, for the sake of it.

Our form is terrible etc.

But hey, we still do it.

So you're going hard for it.

You feel that tremendous amount of pain and you don't exactly see the end of the tunnel.

You just pull and drag every single rep or step or workday for that matter.

The end isn't in sight.

However, you ever had that feeling when well, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Like how you're studying and you just lose steam, until well, 3 days before the exam and all the drive comes back?

Or like how your project just doesn't seem to make any sense till you're approaching the deadline and tadah, everything just falls into place.

Bringing it somewhere closer to home, how about something like a marathon and you see that last 2 km.

Don't tell me you'll intentionally slow down and take a chill pill.

Gosh, I can imagine that speed, that stride, everything somehow becomes lighter...

Everything becomes easier.

If there's one thing that I've learnt while travelling the United States, it's that personal drive, personal motivation is important, it really is...

But it's believing and remembering that end goal that matters...

Too many times, I've seen designers, athletes, artists and in fact gym owners..

They just lose the steam for their job, they just give up...

Is it human nature to succumb to pressure and the pains of the World.

But hey, there' always the light at the end of the tunnel, have some far sighted vision here...

It'll help you succeed in this race that you run.

Believe it in your heart.

That's what it means to walk by Faith and not by Sight.

I had the honor to workout with this man, he's really something.

If you're ever in Santa Cruz and well, you wanna be a better person.

Go, Crossfit Amundson
