Crushing the Fear

So, the hamstring injury which has plagued my life for the past three months is much better, yet not completely healed.  I'm back to WODing regularly, RXing most of it, albeit moving a bit slower, and even more carefully.  I've become much more dedicated to stretching before and after WODing, but I find I have a nagging fear of re-injury that causes me to hesitate at times, when I did not before.  The desire to maintain  my bodies ability to deadlift,  squat, do pullups, hand stand push ups, and all the rest is so great, avoiding injury is a priority.  The mental challenge is to find balance between staying safe, and attempting to JUST PICK THE 275 POUND FUCKER UP!!  (my current dl goal)  There was no fear before, now its there, like a drop of venom, oozing its way into my psyche, every time I walk into the box.....don't get hurt, don't get hurt, is the mantra that drums through my head, and I know it's holding me back, but I won't let it stop me.  Every WOD I complete makes me stronger and more confident, and crushes the fear, at least for a while, and I have no doubt that eventually, it will go away completely.
