If one is really in to running, there is a good chance of going complete nuts if that one stops running. Why; it is addictive. It becomes part of you.
Some run to get high. High as in "feel like flying". This my friend is getting high legally. I used to get it but sadly dont get that any more, as i guess i run too much to think about getting high from the runners high and don't like feeling funny.
Running can become yet another method of chasing a high. The good thing is feel really good after a run. Personally never liked artificial highers, but most of my friends did around me. Its all good. I hear that "Drugs are taken by nice people". May be that is what the voices in the head say. Or 'drugs are starting to work"!
Then again if you are naturally high why bother. My excuse for not joining was saying "when i was a child i was dropped head first to a stash of pot"
Apparently runners high is to do with hormones. If the body is working at its max, it relives the pain through giving back some back to itself some happy hormones to forget the pain. Like "forget bout it" I read that this is what some of the party drugs do to people. It artificially gives that feeling. But what it really gives is permanent brain damage.
When you see a lone runner smiling away for no reason, you know the truth now.
So why are we talking about getting high and all that. Why not. Sometimes such as pressures in life can makes things look harder than actually what they are. So when feeling tired or feel the need of some sort of self healing or time to think time. I reckon nothing does for me than a run. It is a pure meditation. Go in to a trance mode.
That is when you are flying. Serendipity is Life.
