Pain is Pleasure

My toes are bleeding. The top of my foot is scraped raw from mat burn. My arm hurts in three different places because I jerked it free from an arm bar attempt. There always comes a point in training when you just can't breathe and your body is screaming to quit. Just for a second. There is no shame in it. But you know that the endorphin rush when it's over is worth all this and more. The people on the 6 train don't know it, though. To them you are just a sweaty stranger. They don't know your secret.
