runner's high

Broody calls it his time for endorphins. I call it my cure for depression.

And though I've known and experienced it long before I knew him, it's only now that I am really getting it. Yes, endorphins can lift you like no other drugs can.

I am talking about working out, making your body produce those chemicals that generally promote feelings of well-being. I used to say I run for dope, going for that runner's high. So true.

So on days that I feel down, the hardest part is dragging my ass 9 floors down to the gym. The effects are almost instantaneous - a few minutes up my usual cardio/warmup cycle and it's as if the world becomes a brighter place.

Now I have remedy for feeling down, all I have to find is remedy for being lazy.
