Optimism

As an attempt to be more optimistic and positive, my teammate (Megan) and I have begun trying to find the silver lining on things that initially seem bad.

Examples:

- The good thing about a 4 hour Sunday morning practice is we don't have to worry about figuring out what to eat for breakfast because we just won't eat it.

- The good thing about when it gets extremely hot and humid and we race really badly is that we don't have to worry about feeling good about ourselves or about getting a feeling of accomplishment from the sport we dedicate so much time and energy to.

- The good thing about not getting enough sleep is that you don't have to feel awake for any portion of the day.

- The good thing about driving really far away to do a workout is that you don't have to worry about the inconvenience of planning what to do with your free time because you can just spend it swerving all over the road in the back of a smelly van.
