i'd rather be running.

i never thought i'd say this...but i can't stop thinking about running. somebody call 911, i'm addicted to the feeling that i get when i put on my lunar swifts and hit the pavement hard. it's come to a point that i enjoy the feeling of jogging to the mailbox or even to the car when i'm trying to make it to work on time.

it's something about the way i stride when i'm in the mean streets of tempe...letting everyone know ((with my body language)) that i'm a road runner...and yep, that's right, I RUN TEMPE. here i am, sitting at my desk, and all i can think about is what time i am going to hit the pavement, and how many miles i plan on running. who cares about what's for lunch? i'm just going to burn it off when the clock strikes 5pm.


"Exercise, like drugs of abuse, leads to the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins and dopamine, which are involved with a sense of reward," Kanarek said. "As with food intake and other parts of life, moderation seems to be the key. Exercise, as long as it doesn't interfere with other aspects of one's life, is a good thing with respect to both physical and mental health." [Source: msnbc.com]
