   Ok time to run for a while.
   I have yet to experience this so-called "runners high" and I think it's fake. Also, it probably doesn't compare to better highs, like amphetamines, or Psychadelics, or a cold beer on a hot day, or masturbation, or a perfect burger, or love. Fuck running.

      @Mainebot So very much this. I've experienced the runner's high (after intense swimming or using an elliptical) and it's like taking half a short-lived vicodin. Not even remotely worth it for the amount of exercise I have to do.

      I wonder if I'm naturally resistant to it. I haven't found a single form of exercise that's inherently rewarding. It's been important for me to find exercise that has other rewards attached, like walking/hiking or gardening, bc otherwise I'll never do it.
