Oh how I wish I could still run best ever was l3.5 miles in the snow and ice in Connecticut on New Years day when about 40. I just felt so energized I definitely hit the runners high. No other excercise can give you this high. And I loved it. I hated weight lifting and treadmills boring. And endorphins are released but you must be excercising aerobically which means with oxygen as I taught for a Y and then had my own Aerobic business til second year of nursing school. Advertising, choreography, training my instructions became too much second year so I quit. Now from doing so much for so many years my discs , back and neck are a mess. Leaves me with the bike. I was a swimmer when a teen and don't like swimming any more. Phillipa ps anyone remember Jim Fixx the runner used to run with him and he died on a road in Vermont running. He was in his 40's. His Dad and brother died in 30's from hereditary heart disease they say the running extended his life for l0 years. I have an autographed copy of his book Running.
