| I was just remembering how probably a month or so ago there was some thread in which someone said they'd never experienced any sort of euphoria from working out at all. I came home early from school today half for feeling like and half cause it was just like the tiest day ever, and it didn't look like the day could get worse, but also was too far gone to get any better. I lounged around the house, watched office space, played a lil soft guitar, and then at about 8 i realized i had tons of energy, probably atributed to the fact that in coming home early i also missed Ultimate Frisbee practice, which i have daily and uses most of the energy i have left by that time of day. So i went for a run, probably 5-6 miles. All i can say is that i ran faster than i've ever run before by a long shot, and i feel ing invincible. The fact that my gf dumped me, that i can't stand my best friend of a month ago at all anymore, that my grades are slipping, none of that matters. I feel ing incredible :D |

| Thats a good motto for Nike, "who cares about life, just run!" or maybe just criminals who steal? Or you could be like Forrest Gump and run for years cause his Jenny left him. *sniff* poor Forrest. |

Yeah hasn't it been scientifically proven that exercise releases endorphins or something into the brain, making you feel good?]

ya it has, though a lot of the time i think unless you're doing uber exercise like i somehow was, the endorphins and the pain/fatigue cancel each other out more or less
so you feel tired, but good
here it was just ing awesome
feels almost as good as sex, and i can do it by myself! (for those of you who after reading that instantly thought 'hey, sex doesn't take two people!': yes it does.) |

I agree with you 907957%. I used to run every night on a treadmill. I was wondering if running on a treadmill is in any way less beneficial than outside? I mean, running outside you receive the mental benefits as well.. but if im going to enjoy nature.. i want to do it while walking so I can actually enjoy it.. not sweating, thinking i'm going to die and my appendix is going to pop out you know? not noticing the smell of the air, or Orchids or feeling of the breeze on my skin.. I dont think there is anything better than running at a fast pace w/ headphones to good music; turned up really loud .. Your right, after doing it for so long, you get this feeling that you can run forever, your not exhausted.. It's hard to explain.. but i know what you mean :) |
