Endorpholicious
Went out for an easy aerobic 2hrs 15mins this morning and I felt great. The pace was easy, the body in tune, and the miles just slid by. The pace fell into that sweet spot – cruising altitude. The first 10 were a breeze and mile 11 and mile 12 and mile 13 and then mile… euphoria. Without preamble, a flood of endorphins entered the bloodstream and the world became a very wonderful place. All fatigue and effort just melted away.
I came back down to earth around mile 14.5 but the effects lingered as I buzzed home. Wow, I like running.
18 miles @ 7:09 pace and then cooled down for .7 to finish out the time. Good run, 18.7 total. Still feeling good.

I know the feeling and love those moments -- though for me they happen at a somewhat slower (!) pace than the one you describe! Would love to get my long distance cruising pace from 7:55-8:10 down to what you're running! Awesome.
Are you sure you're not friends with Barry Bonds pharmicist--those might not be endorphines. After yesterday's workout I find your comments today disturbing. Maybe I'm just jealous. See you tomorrow.
So do I Andrew. Wish I could do it!
You're handling the 100+ mile weeks well - good stuff.
This is getting scary!
i'll have whatever you're having please.
