    I’m Addicted to Runner’s High, But I Like It

    SHARE

    As I alluded to in the other post, I am a little out of sorts right now.  I have had a little bit of a technical difficulty.  Despite bringing a net book with me so that I can continue to post, I was unable to yesterday.  seems I am a victim of technology.

    Right up there on the stress scale with regard to not being able to post was my inability to go for a run.  I missed one day and almost missed the second.  The Gazelle isn’t going to like that at all.  He has running plans for us both.  Which I was glad to join in.

    As afraid of his disappointment in my not being able to run was, I was more worried about my own reaction.

    While I was recovering from plantar fasciitis the first time around, I had to curtail my running.

    My unhappy body was even more upset with me that it was missing its runners high – which I didn’t know at the time.   And it let me know.  Loudly.  On my normal running day, I would get antsy.  And when I missed the actual run.  Look out.  I got really crabby.  Snapping at people and then having to go back and apologize later.  After I had run.

    Like I said, I was prepared to miss the tour and go for a run.  Now that I have done both.  Am I ever a happy camper.  It could be runner’s high, but I don’t think so.

    A runner for almost two years, Terry recently had the mildly traumatic experience of trying to find a flattering pair of running pants (“Isn’t running about pushing personal boundaries and just getting out there and moving? Except when you don’t look in the least bit like Paula Radcliffe.”). But although she may have been a bit embarrassed by “helpful handsome guy” at the store, she keeps a great perspective through her running experiences. Pushing through a number of injuries early in her running career, she got right back to training for her next race. “The feeling of elation when I crossed the finish line is unimaginable,” says Terry. Sounds like she’s hooked for good!
