Runner’s High?

I never thought it would happen to me. Actually, if I’m completely honest I have to admit I wasn’t even sure it was a real thing. But I’ve always heard my friends who are runners talk about runner’s high.

Today I actually experienced it. There I was, in the middle of the GHS YMCA, doing my walk/run on the treadmill and something began to happen.

My praise music was blaring, and I got a second wind and the most euphoric feeling came over me. I felt like I could conquer the world. Truthfully it was all I could do NOT to throw my hands up in the air and give a triumphant whoop.

Now I can hardly wait to go back tomorrow morning. Will it happen again? Was it just a fluke?

I’m betting it wasn’t. But I’ll let you know tomorrow.

“Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.” Hebrews 12:1
