Not just the whole endorphins thing but if you didn't have optimism, why would you keep running and racing? I mean, unless you are a total masochist?????Juliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795598528475684390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-63603146558058233502009-01-19T16:50:00.000-05:002009-01-19T16:50:00.000-05:00Hey Lam.

I have felt the same way about optimism over running and how you have to develope it if you are going to continue. What a testament that you have in fact, let it spill over into your life, which is what I have always been striving to do (even the masthead of my blog.) I've gotten myself in a bit of jam requiring surgery so it's going to be a bit of a road back, but I'm reminded of your injury and Frayed Laces and many others who have come back. Thanks for the hope today when I needed it. <BR/><BR/>Missed you.<BR/>NancNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14684236668997938263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-5003977977126296412009-01-17T00:18:00.000-05:002009-01-17T00:18:00.000-05:00What a kind thing for your co-worker to say.

It's easier to be positive on the outside and out a positive front, but it is much harder to sit with your insecurities, understand them, and turn them into positives.
