"The most important thing to remember is this: To be ready at any moment to give up what you are for what you might become.: - W.E.B DuBois

By the wonders of technology I was unable to post my blog for yesterday.  So I will pay you back with two today!

Yesterday was Hardcore.  It was my first time attending this class and I was really worried about how I could "hang" with the rest of the hardcore group.  Turns out I only had to worry about hanging with Jo.  (No pressure there!).  The workout was incredibly challenging.

I found that at the end though, I didn't feel like I truly "owned" the workout. I  didn't feel sweaty enough, the only muscles that were tired were the jelly like strings I call my arms, and I think I gave up too soon doing full push-ups.  For starters, I probably shouldn't compare myself to Jo, that's just setting me up for failure.  That said, I think that she is an excellent role model to fashion myself after.  She doesn't leave anything on the table when she works out, giving 110% the whole time. 

It makes me wonder how many times in our lives we cut corners, do less than our best because no one is counting how many pushups we complete?
