The mental battle

CRU MAHONEY

Just because I’m the disciplined guy running every day on your Instagram feed doesn’t mean I don’t feel what you feel.
 

You see, there’s this assumption that because it’s what I do every day, it must feel easy or satisfying for me, but guess what… Everything in my body is telling me not to be out there. The mental battle would only be cheapened by explanation.
 

To jump in the ice bath for three minutes then go out to run, it feels bad every time.
 

My freezing body,
 

my tired legs,
 

it’s all telling me to stop… and I never listen because I know what comes out on the other side.
 

So you might have this messed up view in thinking that the people that do the hard things are inherently different from you but the only real difference is who you DECIDE to be when that alarm goes off and it’s time to show up.
