Exercise Is Pretty Awesome

I walked about halfway home from school before the bus that I ride finally came. The whole trip is a little over five miles, so I walked around two miles. For me... a "walk" of this kind is fast and driven... a valid exercise... not casual stroll.

That being said... I was reminded of how awesome exercise is. Yeah... there's "better health," but I'm not gonna lie. I think I could easily get addicted to "runner's high" as some people call it.

Basically, the endorphin release associated with significant exercise is... uhm... awesome.

It's a good thing I stay away from drugs. I would get addicted so bad... and get so screwed up by it.

With that aside... now... uhm... done. It's crazy to compare yesterday (which didn't feature any significant exercise) with today (which did). Sure... there were more things that happened yesterday that could legitimately be considered mildly depressing... but I just wasn't particularly happy yesterday. Today... I feel awesome (and tired)... even though the stuff that happened yesterday is just as real today.

Yeah. I'm all for having control over my perspective from a pure force-of-will standpoint... but considering I have access to this little attitude booster simply by exercising (something I need to do to get physically conditioned, anyway)... well... that's pretty sweet.

Exercise is awesome.

the end.
