It will always be with you?

"So, I thought I'd just let you know that I'm in pain." I said to Nigel as I walked over to the weights.
"Yeah?"
'Yeah.  It hurts to sit.  It hurts to stand.  It hurts to walk.  I hurt."
"Well, doh worry.  We goin' easy today.  We workin' de core an' then you'll do the treadmill."
I didn't feel like I was getting enough sympathy and understanding. "So, when exactly does the pain go away?"  I could hear a guy snickering from behind.  I glanced back and he was doing some sort of squat with some weights.
"Well...after awhile, but if you keep doing more [challenging yourself] it's always there."
"What?!?  Are you in pain?"  I asked precociously.
"Girl, right now ah could feel de burn in my chest, my arms... you learn to live with it."
Hmmm... now that wasn't the answer I was expecting.  All these ripped, buff guys walking around as if it were just natural to look like a demigod were in pain??  I had to think about that one.
Anybody else in pain??
