Last night I started out for my 2 hour long run...

Normally I can squeeze about 15 miles into the two hour time period if I am feeling good and things sort of click.

For some reason yesterday I was on fire! I made it 16 miles in the two hour time period and felt great the entire time. I wasnt pushing and in fact I dont think my heart rate got above 140 the entire time. It was windy and rainy here in MN so I was really impressed with myself. So much so, that when I got home I proceeded to brag to my girlfriend that she was looking at the future of triathlons!

She looked at me a little strangly as I was posing like a greek god in front of her and laughing she says, "Baby! You look just like the Hermes!"

Nonetheless, it was a great workout and I think even the god of speed Hermes would have been proud of me!

I think that is what "they" refer to as a "Runner's High." It is a great feeling! Enjoy it and remember it the next time you are doing what "they" call a"Death March" :)

Way to train hard!
