“I refuse to give my physical pain any value,” Courtney told Zach Davis of TheTrek.com . “I shove the pain aside, focus on something different, and force myself to keep moving … I keep repeating over in my head, ‘Keep moving. Keep moving. Keep moving.’ Or sometimes it’s, ‘You’re fine. You’re fine. You’re fine.’ If I’m being nice to myself, sometimes I will cheer myself on and repeat, ‘You’re doing a good job. You’re doing a good job. You’re doing a good job.’”
