I can say this, when running or doing anything physically strenuous you will learn a lot about yourself. In training for hockey we used to have to run upwards of 10 miles. After the first 3 it is all mental. So many times I just said quit, stop, walk but I wouldn't. You can keep going you just have to tell yourself you can. I tell you after fighting your body with your mind and winning. That is euphoria.

It's the buzz. Back in the mid to late 80s I ran a lot. About 60 miles every week. Lot's of 10Ks, 8 milers and half marathons. It's the beta endophins that keep you running. Some have compared it to organic morphine. The down side is when you run that much you start to get a lot of repetitive exercise injuries and eventually you just cannot do it anymore.

No boat, back in the suds.

I'd rather spend all that energy drowing plugs Complete waste of time imo.

If there is such thing as "runners high" , there must also be "fishermans high".
Defined as: That flood of euphoric feelings that engulf your entire being when you find yourself in a rocky cove at 4AM with your first 50 flopping in the seaweed by your feet.

Note: Fishermans High is most likely to occur during the time of the new moon in the month of June or September.

"Twitch....Twitch....Twitch....WHAM!"

Amazing how someone can run that much or long and not get injured from the pounding on the pavement.
