Training and Boundaries

In cycling class the other day, my legs were aching, my lungs were on fire, and the sweat was pouring off of me like I was living in a rainforest. And, that was the good news. The bad news was that we were only about half-way through the hour. It was my first time riding in this leader's class and I was learning a lot about him, indoor cycling, and myself.

I took an important lesson away from Jim's TeamICG class. Training isn't just about fitness. Training is about learning that the limitations you're seeing aren't real. Training is pushing yourself beyond those imaginary boundaries that you set up.

Whether you're exercising your body or your mind, training helps push you to the next level. It's how you break the bonds that you wrap around yourself.
