3.6 miles and an endorphin high!

Yes! I decided to increase my run distance today, so took the plunge and ran up to Burfields road which adds another .5 miles onto my usual route. I took it nice and steady, about 11.5 minute miles, so when I got the to turn off which brings me back home I was feeling so good I decided to keep on going and take the route which takes me over 2 bridges and adds on about another .5 miles. What was really interesting was that the burning feeling in my calves as I run up the bridges felt kind of good! Of course I have heard of people saying all the endorphins that get released when you exercise can feel like a high, but I think today was the first time I actually experienced it.
