The New York Times has an article today about runner's highs and whether there is any truth based in the old-wise tale. There is no question in my mind that exercise makes you feel good. I don't think anyone will dispute that. My family can tell you, they know whether I've worked out that day just by talking to me on the phone. Far fewer people would compete if you didn't feel good training. Now if it is a "high", I have to say I'm definitely hooked. The strange thing is, it really isn't something you think about on the whole. I don't choose to train to "get high" but rather more the peaceful feeling I get from it. It is a time to be in yourself and do something solely for you. It is the feeling of being outside and working my body physically. Without a doubt, it feels good. So really is there any reason to prove it scientifically? Not in my book.
