endorphins are awesome!

[pendragoness]

Today I went to the gym and went on a four mile run. I was listening to some loud, angry music, which was pretty motivating and I guess I pushed myself harder than I am normally inclined to. When I stepped off the treadmill I felt like I was floating.

So this is what they mean by runner's high.

I like this.

I am a stranger who stumbled across your lj (while procrastinating, of course) and wanted to respond as an amateur runner. Congratulations on the four miles! The feeling like you're floating happens when you run on a treadmill and maintain the same frame of reference, you run without moving mentally. It seems like you are walking really fast/floating after because of it. If you run outside, you might be able to distinguish the euphoria of the runner's high.

Also, you seem like a fascinating person and I wish you good luck with grad school applications (GRE just popped out all over).

No, that was a different feeling from the treadmill floating-due-to-frame of reference feeling that day. I've gotten the runner's high feeling outside too.

Then I must congratulate you again! That means you can go out and do it again another day. :-D
