Running High!

I've recently taken up running (which I've always hated) so I was really excited to read this next report.

Apparently runners high, the euphoria that runners feel after a good long jog, really exists.

Researchers in Germany have reported that running elicits a flood of endorphins in the brain. The endorphins are associated with mood changes, and the more endorphins a runner's body pumps out, the better the runner feels.

Bare in mind, that to get a really good "high" most runners had to jog for at least 2 hours, but until I can work up to that length, I will have to settle for a feeling of mild euphoria.
