I choose bliss

Dumb: Going for a long meandering run in a t-shirt and shorts in 40-degree weather, with no water or energy gels, in unfamiliar neighborhoods, and for nearly twice as long as the vast majority of my runs for the past half year.

Blissful: Running toward a stunningly silhouetted Mt. Rainier, plowing up and barreling down huge hills, getting utterly lost in unfamiliar neighborhoods, and listening to beautiful bluegrass music while at it.

Perception is everything.

Either way, warming back up with tonight's Vitamix blender creation = Unarguably blissful.
