Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

Why doesn't everyone appreciate the power of endorphins?

Great workout! That is a good question about the endorphins...our world would be better off if more folks actually took the time to exercise and get this kind of high instead of the bad type (external induced).

Hope you had a good time with your Dad...the best kind of Father's Day present is just spending quality time.

I couldn't agree more, Jeff. It's stronger than caffeine and a heck of a lot healthier than alcohol, etc. Distance running and heavy mileage is not for everyone, but making health and fitness a priority has so many tangible and intangible benefits.

And thanks for saying that about Father's Day. My son, Dad, Grandfather, and I had a great time at an Arkansas Travelers Minor League ballgame.
