Great session!

I was reading an article on pain in exercise that can be tolerated more by group interaction then individual. Daaah! when you are working with someone else or in a group exercise session, you really disassociate the pain and therefore you don't feel as much of the truma resulting from the action taking place. That is also why they have big screen TV in Globo gyms are provided to members running on cardio-gerbil equipment so they can disassociate the boardum and discomfort.
However, there will be times when you have to be alone with your demons of pain and discomfort so you have do lean to focues on this so you know if it is fatgue pain or injury inducing pain. when I ran long distance races, even running in a group I always focus on my internal action in regards to heart rate and musle pain to optimize perfromance. Yes, you can ignore pain but it more benificual to focuse on it and most times it goes away in fear.
