The other thing I had forgotten about: how great I feel after an intense workout. After talking with others, I guess not everyone feels this. I don't know if it's the lack of intesity or some just can't feel it. From what I've read, you have to reach an anarobic stage in exercise to get it, which I can see. I have to run hard (to the point that it's hard to breath) or lift heavy (less than 10 reps max in 3 sets) to fully feel it. The other benefit I've newly discovered? It has mostly taken care of my allergies. They have gotten worse over the years. Sometimes during the spring and fall I would have to take Allegra daily (nothing else worked). Since exercising, my sinuses mostly stay clear. If I do feel like I'm getting stuffy, the cure is a quick 1 mile jog.
Oh, and I'm also looking forward to this summer at the lake. :)
Does anyone else get this "runner's high"? I'd like to hear your experiences in comments below!
