Hola MB&B'ers!
There are a few things that I am certain of. One of those is how your body can start to "talk" to you when working out. You feel the strain, the muscle ache, and you almost think you hear your body telling you to stop putting it through the misery of lifting weight, running, riding or whatever you are doing to cause discomfort and fatigue. When on the bike, my body talks to me a lot, "Stop pushing so hard!", "This is hurting!", "I'm out of breathe!", "Why do you make me work so hard?", and its these times that I think of Jens Voigt and the conversation he has with his body.

I am always surprised when people come up to me wearing a T-shirt that says, “Shut up legs!” It was just something I said once, long ago, to a journalist who’d asked how I could dig so deep in races. But even today people who see me say, “Come on, Jens. Tell us! You know what we want to hear!”
“Shut up legs,” I say, and they love it. They laugh. They tell me it inspires them.

I tell my legs that everytime I have to do a one legged lunge. Freaking kill me.
