Ear Lobes
I have the benefit of EXECEPTIONAL ear lobes (just ask my daughter Kari). There are lots of coping mechanisms when the "suck' is going full bore. Mini goals are always good (run to the next telephone pole, one more lap, 2 more minutes). When I'm in the middle of real pain I focus on one of two things - my ear lobes or people in the world that are TRULY suffering. Ear lobes because they never hurt. The other billion plus people in the world who haven't had the luck that I've had (and anyone reading this have had) who are true warriors. Our worst day would be their BEST day. They make whatever small task I am facing seem insignificant.
