    I've run marathons, 1/2 marathons, 10Ks etc... I usually get a runner's high after I've been working out consistently for a few days. And I feel it AFTER the run, never during. I LOVE my runs and the endorphin rush after!

    On today's run... it was at 4 miles. It's usually after that point where you feel like you're dog tired and can't run another step. You either dig deeper, walk, or stop. When you make the choice to dig deeper and keep going, before you know it, you 're like... This is awesome. I am awesome. My breathing is steady. My HR finally found a place to steady itself. I'm pretty sure I could run forever. I can't believe I questioned whether or not I wanted to run today. Yes, I talk to myself a lot when I run.... Haha

    I usually get a runner's high around mile 3, once I hit this point I feel like Forest Gump.
