Endorphins

I have a love/hate relationship with exercise. I hate doing it, I hate starting it, but I LOVE the way it makes me feel. When I get that endorphin rush, it feels just like right after orgasm, that full, flushed, satisfied feeling of goodness and satiation. I just feel so good, and relaxed, and tingly, and calm. And it lasts for a long time! this feeling, for just hours and hours. Exercise really makes a huge difference in my day. In my life.

My favorite exercise is running, then yoga, then the elliptical machine. Today is a 5 mile run, tomorrow, 3 miles, then friday will hit the gym and do the elliptical. I’ve been doing yoga at home for years now but recently (as part of my getting over shyness plan) found a studio and signed up for classes, went to the first one yesterday. It was grand, the teacher is really nice and grounded and the other students were really welcoming and friendly. One of the women I talked to is also running in the Cleveland marathon this year, and it was nice to talk about running with someone who shares this enthusiasm.

How about you, what gets you going?
