Hard to tell at this point if it was the pain in my muscles, the pain in my knee, the inability to breathe, the exhaustion, the self directed anger (I should be able to do this, the fact that I can’t is my own fault. I’m an idiot. Why did I do this to myself?), something else or all of the above.
I had a surprise moment of being overcome where a few sobs and tears exploded out of my face, and was beyond thankful it was still dark while I wandered away from the pack to regroup.

Oh my god - you are my hero! I just posted the longest story in history to explain why bootcamp made me cry too - and, ridiculously, I was mortified of what you might think of me.

Hang in there Maigh and ETK, you’ll hit a wall, then go over it.
You’re both very inspiring and heroic for sticking with it!
Don’t quit! You can doooo eeeeet!

Both you & ETK are inspiring me. If I was in ATL, I would be joing you.
Good luck to both of you! You can do it!

By next week, you’ll be harder than woodpecker lips. As they say.

When I burst into tears out of nowhere one day while working out, my trainer did not bat an eye. He said it’s to be expected - it was just toxins/old stress leaving my body, and not to take it personally…so I now prefer to think of it as being so tough that I must sweat from my eyes, because I am already sweating out of all the other places.

hey you are feeling the appropriate emotions after a long break from being fit. you are going to hurt, and it will stress you out mentally, even bring you to crossroads like today …. but eventually you’ll be back making it your bitch like you used to! don’t give yourself easy outs. ive got faith in ya!
pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever!

You guys are the best. This morning was much easier - and not because it was less strenuous, but because of your support. ‘Preciate ya!
