ankle better

[unbibium]

It's five days since my ankle problem. It's a little tender, but I don't notice it at all when I'm walking around. And I did a lot of walking around yesterday.

I'm tempted to hit the exercise machines again tomorrow, except for some reason I can't force myself to go to bed before 2am because of the long weekend... curses.

I wouldn't say there's an endorphine rush that can be described as a "runner's high", at least not that I notice... but it really took the edge off a bad day.

I recently met someone, a FOAF, who had been a runner, but only of short runs in the 1-3 mile length. A couple of days before I was talking with him, he said he ran the longest he ever had around Greenlake, and in the 6th mile he said he got his first runner's high, which he had, before that point, thought was an exageration of the general stimulation one gets from exercise. So, I think it exists. Or maybe it had something to do with why he increased his run length in the first place. Hmm.
