When your buddies ask you why you run, what kind of response do you give them?
I am still trying to come up with the right response. Sure, you get your common answers -
- to stay in shape
- to lose weight
- to get fit
- so I can eat more!
Here is my answer today, the "Runner's High."
If you are not a runner, you'll have no idea what I am talking about. For me the Runner's High usually comes towards the end of my run. It's a feel-good feeling that overcomes the body and lifts your spirits. The Runner's High takes away any kind of pain I am experiencing and places boosters on my shoes. The Runner's High reminds me why I get up at 5 AM to put on my running shoes. From my splits below you can see I typically start off at a slower, warm-up pace then gradually increase over each mile. I am sure there is some kind of cool science behind it all and you can read about it at my favorite running website, Runner's World. When you feel it, you'll understand. This is nature's true drug to getting high.
