I love to get high!

 That's right, I said it and you know what?  I know you people do too.  I'm not talking about alcohol, drugs, or any kind of substance abuse.  I'm talking about a runners high.  That's right, an endorphin high baby!!!!  I had my first one today since I was a senior in highschool back in 1983.

When it kicked in I knew immediately what it was.  I'd been waiting and expecting to get one and now I finally did.  I'd forgotten what one felt like.  I ran my furthest distance since surgery and I just kept pushing on when that little voice in my head kept saying to stop running and walk.  I didn't give in and I reaped the rewards for pushing myself.

I'm going to tell you guys something else....I plan on getting high at least two more days this week.  I'm training for that half marathon in November and I refuse to go into it in poor condition.  Maybe I can get my wife to get high too.

I'm still waiting for that feeling.  I was starting to think it was something that was made up by other people to try and get you to do the same crazy stuff they do.

So far the only time I get it is when I finish exercising

Glad to hear you are having a great experience with it!

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!

Yep I'm still waiting, too ;)
I get really, really happy when I'm DONE working out- does that count?

I usually get it at about the 4-mile mark--feels like you're floating and are invincible! Today I only ran 3.57 miles, so I didn't quite make it. But I know it's out there, waiting for me!

 Mine came around the 4 mile mark.

I prefer to fly. Which is why the bike is my favorite.

 That's good too.  I can't wait to get my road bike.  The mountain bike is like riding a tank!

I think Snoop does it for the Endorphins as well...He usually hits his high at about mile .0001

Yeah, I think Snoop is the spokesperson and poster child for fittness and exercise.  Too funny!
