Really? A Runners High?

Just when the nerds on Myth Busters were about to call Alan Webb and Ryan Hall, the New York Times runs an article that talks about how the runners high is not an urban myth.  Apparently some smart researchers in Germany were able to prove the existence of the runners high using PET scans.

Well I am glad science is proving what athletes have known for a long time, typically you feel better after pushing your body for a while.

Speaking of pushing yourself, I popped off a 10k tempo run on the treadmill last night (it was snowing outside).  I hadn't run in a couple of days, so I had some legs under me.
