Runner’s High

I ran this morning. For 37k. In a little over 4h20m. 

Not unlike the long runs that I have been doing these last few months. With one difference though.

As I started running post warm up, I just kept going on… and on… and on… and on.  I felt no pain in my legs, no cramps in my belly, no breathlessness in my lungs and no accelerated heart rate.

It was a throwback to about 6 years ago, when I experienced a state of physical and mental being, as beautiful as this.  The mind was empty except for one thought – to run as much as I could; the body willingly assisted.

I am  resting now.  In complete sat-chit-ananda!  Or, as my tribe know it, the Runner’s High.
