Exercise

The pain and the success, The aches and the medals, The sweat before the shower, Feeling weak where you once felt power. The trips and the podiums, The icy morns and the sunlit eves, The strained pant before the joyous exhale, A winning mentality to beat any fear of fail. The disappointments and the smiles, The sore backs and the comforting throb of rest, A question of challenge becomes an answer of what if? Choosing safe and secure or to leap from that cliff.
