Why Don't we Quit?
According to dictionary.com the definition of "Quit" is: to stop trying, struggling, or the like; accept or acknowledge defeat.

In my short lived CrossFit life I have come face to face with many workouts that bring me to my knees and the easiest thing to do would be to stop and quit.  I am constantly fighting the voices in my head to quit.  So my question is why don't we quit?  What is it that keeps us moving forward?  I have never quit during a workout yet (doesn't mean it's not possible) but my drive to keep pushing is the fact that I know there is an end soon, even though it doesn't feel like it.  I also know that when I am done I will feel so good. What about you? What keeps you going?
