I took up running for a while. “Runners high” is a very misleading term because the only thing that feels good about running is being done running

My whole life I’ve wanted to be a runner but goddamn… Running is ass. Maybe one day I’ll commit. Doubtful.

All runners are masochists to some degree.

Then you’ve never truly had a runners high. When I was occasionally running while I in my teens, I’ve had a feeling once or twice where you feel like you’re flying and feel like you can go on forever. That’s what “Runner’s high” is I believe

Once you get into it you get pretty addicted to it. Like I feel guilty if I haven’t run in a couple days. And running after a stressful day of work is like magic for making the tension go away. In the summer my runs are also trail runs so that makes it a lot better.
