What's your motivation?? When things really start to suck during the workout, what motivates you to push beyond your limits, pushes you to finish, drives you to succeed?

The thought that in my profession if I give up during a fight it may result in death. I have had incidents where I wanted to quit but knew the result could be bad. So I think of those encounters when I start feeling like quitting and that makes me push my body beyond fatigue. Definitely a mind over body ability.
I concur pow pow. Well articulated.
Some of my mottos. Train as you fight. Train more in peace, bleed less in war.
I think about any upcoming derby bouts, and their players... and I imagine I'm tired and it's down to the wire and I've got to skate as hard as I can..... and I imagine taking out their players and laying them flat!!!
Marines don't quit!
Sweet (or in this case, Sweaty) success! I hate failure. Thanks to ALL the C5 trainers who push me over and beyond what I thought I could do!
I really try to keep my mind in the moment... not let it wander to "what am I going to do on the weekend" or "that problem I'm having at work". Crossfit has been a great tool in myself realizing what my body is capable of if I put my mind to it, and how I don't have to accept my own preconceived physical limits. Good days are when I can't hear any of the noise in the box... only my mind repeating "keep going, don't stop".
Thinking about how I'm almost fnished...and all I have to do is finish.
