I have always heard about the "natural high" you get from running, working out, exercise, etc. I thought it sounded great, but I didn't believe it was true for everyone. I didn't get a high from running. I got pain and frustration and an inability to draw breath. I thought I just wasn't one of those people who got that exercise high.
Until now.
I finally get it! I was trying to do too much too soon, and it was too hard. Now that I'm working on my gradual conditioning, I am succeeding and feeling that amazing high that comes not only from being active but also the amazing high that comes from trying something hard and succeeding.
I am well aware that my level of difficulty wouldn't be very difficult for everyone, but it's still an accomplishment for me - one I am very proud of. So I will happily ride this high until tomorrow when it is time to drag myself onto the treadmill again. But this time it won't be such a chore because I will remember how good it feels to get high.
