Scared of what?

Today's workout I wasn't looking forward to, even though I put it together myself. I haven't done a whole lot of power training so I thought I'd throw some stuff together with the intention of collapsing at the end, it looked like this:

200m run
25 Hang squat snatch (40kg)
200m run
25 Clean (40kg)
200m run
25 Thrusters (40kg)
200m run
25 Push-Press (40kg)

Looking at it after I'd written it down scared me quite a bit and I thought about changing it to make it a little lighter on me. But I decided that's not how I roll. And as hard as it was to do, and to motivate myself initially to do it, I thought I did rather well. I know I pushed myself through the last 2 exercises but I definitely held back a bit on the first 2. All in all I'm happy I did it and I'd really like to do this one again. As a bit of a test. Again I didn't time myself properly as my timing device is stuffing up a little but I know I could have done better.

I'm glad I pushed through the fear factor and achieved something worthwhile, I feel much better off for it. And I guess you can say the same for anything that will benefit you. The saying goes 'Nothing worth having is easy to get' it's so true. The feeling of having actually done that afterwards was much better after I forced myself to do it.

Don't put something off that's good for you if you're scared of it. You'll be so glad once you've pushed yourself through the pain barrier, whether it's physical or not, and achieved the goal at the end of the road. Take your challenges head on and if you're scared that it's going to be too hard, just imagine how worth it that it's going to be.
