PESSIMIST IN THE MORNING AND OPTIMIST AFTER A RUN

Today's quote in Runners World «A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity, an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.» is a phrase by Winston Churchill.
If you were to ask me what I think about when I run, most times I would have to answer «I don't know.» When I run it almost seems like time passes through me while I'm in a far away place...and when I finish I sort of land back in reality feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.
Today as I looked around the gym at all the people running, biking, rowing or skywalking, I wondered how much energy we could all produce.
If we could use this energy maybe in the future we can get the kids [and parents] to run around the house to get enough energy to power the TV to watch their favourite show. The family would be healthier and more active, the electricity bill would be lower and above all a lot of people would stop watching so much Tv!!!
Freaky thoughts I know, but an hour and 2 minutes later my tempo run was over and now I realize that I am a pessimist when I wake up and an optimist after my morning run....When the alarm goes off I see difficulty in very opportunity to run before work and after the run I realize that each difficult run is an opportunity to get better at it.....
And speaking about running.....I'm running late to head home for a well deserved weekend and of course last minute Xmas shopping!!!
