Pain

"Cruelty is a mystery, and the waste of pain," -Annie Dillard, The Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.

Pain is the mechanism by which your body informs you of problems.  Listen to these signals.  Discomfort is an important part of what we do at CrossFit Mount Olympus.  We design challenging workouts that may leave you gasping for air, or quivering with exhaustion.  We cannot, however, determine when you have gone too far.  Listen to those signals--respect them.  Some pain can be worked through, like sore muscles.  Others require a different approach.  Push yourself, but be smart about it!
