I don’t think I am. I can ignore pain pretty well, but if I don’t like something, I don’t force myself to do it over and over just to prove I can. For instance, dip (tobacco). One of my cadre used to do calisthenics with a big glob of cherry Skoal in his lip. No place to spit in the mat room, my friends; so he swallowed it the whole time. THAT’s pretty hard core, I think.
Not for me. I do things I like, even if they hurt a little. Not hard-core, just having fun.
