How come I experience the famed "runner's high" after my workout instead of during it? Where is the euphoria that is supposed to transport me to transcendental bliss and make running such a joy? I'm ready for the rapture to set in!

Even though my workout this morning was grueling, two days of Thanksgiving carbo-loading definitely paid off.  I ran a mile and a half on the treadmill -- eighteen minutes nonstop!
