runners high

The essay about running was written very well. The description is pretty accurate for someone that enjoys running. I am a really good runner, but I need to listen to music from my MP3 player or talk to a running partner to enjoy the experience. That is the only way I can block out the boring experience of running. The other way I can enjoy running without music or talking is racing against other runners. But I can agree with the author's example of runners high and having an out of body experience during the run with no memory of the course traveled. It does happen when a runner is fit and it doesn't happen when the runner is unfit.
