SUCK IT UP!

So if you have been following the Olympics lately you know that there are some pretty amazing stories about dedication and strength.  One of the stories that was quite inspiring to me was the story of Slovenian cross-country skier Petra Majdic who won the bronze metal after four broken ribs and a collapsed lung.  Ready the rest of the story here.  Can you even imagine?  Seriously?  I whine and complain when my butt hurts after an hour in the saddle.  These people are truly amazing.   They come from a whole new breed of "TOUGH".  I guess what we need to do is buck up and when the pain finally sets in we need to just "SUCK IT UP".  I have a friend who is constantly telling me to just suck it up.  Well, you know what..... I do not come from this breed.  I come from the the breed of I DISLIKE pain.  So, I will keep enjoying just finishing a race and continue to admire those of you who SUCK IT UP.
