I finally experienced runners high. i've always thought it was a myth.

But here in Baltimore, its 91 degrees(just heard the news guy say that :)). Hot, but a semi nice breeze.

I went for a 45 min run, in a highly crowded traffic filled area. Running along side busy roads.

Half the time i was like F this, im going home. But i kept going...and going...and going...and occasionally hating myself because my legs hurt.

I'm home now, on my couch and like OMG I DID IT!! I REALLY REALLY DID IT ON THE HOTTEST DAY!!!!!!
Now granted i'm all sweaty, i feel swollen but hey, i did a 45min run and i didn't let myself quit.

Now thats called going to bed tonight with some massive satisfication!

    that is awesome, I am mildly jealous you are getting heat. We normally have beautiful weather by this time of year and it is the winter that would never end and has been a horribly cold spring.
