What kind of “strong” are you?
Strength is relative.
Distance runners talk a lot about feeling “strong” in the last mile of a race.
While weightlifters laugh. ‘You call that strength, huh?’
All the while I’ve referred to people I practice yoga alongside as having a “strong” practice.
But wouldn’t precisely label some of them as being strong.
Where does it hurt?
Rack up enough gym time and you’re gonna get injured.
Sure as the sun’ll come up.
And when that injury happens someone (Doc, Trainer, Mom) is gonna ask, ‘where does it hurt?’. Surely the cure for what ails you lies right there beneath the pain.
Like X marks the spot.
If only our bodies were that direct.
