Transitions can be tough and sometimes they aren’t much fun.
Some people adjust better than others and handle the stress that can come along
with change and transitions. When I
think of transitions I think of the transition between junior high and high school
or the transition from a big move. However, transitions can deal with anything,
even running.
Have
you ever heard of a runner’s high? The definition of a runner’s high is “a
feeling of euphoria that is experienced by some individuals engaged in
strenuous running and that is held to be associated with a release of
endorphins by the brain." In other words, the transition from almost dying
to feeling like you can run for days.
Although I
don’t experience a running high every time I run, when it happens it’s one of
the best feelings ever. Sometimes I feel great and other times I feel like
shooting myself. Normally when I begin running I feel fairly awful, but after a
mile or so I start feeling a little bit better. It’s like busting through a
brick wall. Suddenly you have a boost of energy that rejuvenates your soul. You
feel the breeze against your skin and you simply forget about everything. You
begin to forget about time and how many miles you’ve gone. For me, after about 6
miles my extraordinary journey comes to an end.
