It appears we are all in agreement.
There is: "real" pain...the injury that Pint described well by saying it can cause you to cave in. It did in my case...I bent a little to my right to get something and the pain was such I literally fell over.
"overuse" pain...what we feel and put up with for our pleasures and work. If you are lucky pleasure and work can be combined.
"the burn"...that pain that some thrive on as they ride, lift, run or whatever...some love it more than others...Lance seems to live for it.
Me...wimp...hate the first...put up with the second...try to avoid the third which is why I never grow past a point...but that is my choice.
Quick story...I asked an excellent cyclist the secret to climbing. His reply was, "Well Lon when it starts to burn you have to love it." My response was, "Shannon I guess I'll never be a climber, when it starts to burn I downshift."
Me...I'll handle pain number 3 for the endeavors I love the most...hitting 35 or 40 or a "peddling" stetch to blow off cars is no problem...killing myself to go 1 more mph up a Pittsburgh hill...who cares the top isn't going anywhere.
