Fear & Reward

An early morning run on Mars.
Being very anxious, when running above 2500m, I always have this mixed feeling of excitement and fear: “Damn, it feels so good to be up here me, myself and I, with the whole mountain all for me.” Alternated to “I haven’t met a single human being since I left home; what if I get into trouble?”
But the show is worth the fear, which is temporary, while memories and joy last much longer.
As soon as you get down and start to see vegetation again and bump into people starting their hike, the adventure feels completed, and you have just reached mindfulness.
