Whether it's an injury or whether it's just a nagging ache, that can affect your progress just because you think 'Oh, I'll push through it today' and then you can't work out for two weeks.

Other than that, I'm not going up there trying to be a fitness model.
Prince FielderI think the biggest shift for me is - this is going to sound like a wanky actor, but - getting in touch with, and learning to not just appreciate, but actually really enjoy being a woman.

Of course, if you know what will happen, you can succeed at doing it, so an athlete in flow has a stand-out game.
Kevin ManeyWhat makes a great endurance athlete is the ability to absorb potenial embarrassment, and to suffer without complaint. I was discovering that if it was a matter of gritting my teeth, not caring how it looked, and outlasting everybody else, I won.
