Yesterday evening, after I had worked a full day, then did my 45 minutes on the treadmill (31 minutes of running, 14 of walking) while watching "X-Files", then had a good supper, I was feeling really, really good. Happy, relaxed, awake.
Then I realized that I have those positive feelings pretty frequently after my run. It's not exactly the runner's "high" they talk about -- but it seems to be a nice benefit for me. I wonder what part of it is so beneficial. The release of tension? The satisfaction of knowing I'm doing something good for me? Just getting the body moving -- is there something like lactic acid building up in my muscles as they sit mostly unused during the day?
Whatever the reason, I think I'll go do it again.
