Right now I'm getting my exercise by moving things around as I pull out things for the Goth - Steampunk rummage sale I'm vending at this weekend.
Also, someone please remind me in a month or so that I REALLY don't need to buy any more lace, fishnet, or open-weave hosiery unless I find an amazing pattern in burgundy or gray. I am All Stocked Up on black (and glittery black) versions of such things.
I get a high from a long yoga session, but I think that's partially due to the breathing and the twisting releasing random crap from my muscles. I do not get a high from running, even when I run 5 times a week, but I embody crankiness if I don't run.
The only endorphin highs I've ever had were from deep massage and acupuncture/pressure. Not exercise.
Endorphin highs happen from tattoos. That's about it.
Hmm, I should reconsider my lack of tattoos.
Tattoos and ruffly skirts for everyone!
twirls off into the night, praying not to be devoured by the Storage Room.
I don't know if I would recognize an endorphin high if it bit me on the nose.
I was just listening to a TTBOOK that included some scientists who were trying to study the elusive and legendary "runner's high" and determined that the levels of a particular cannabinoid increase in humans and dogs but not ferrets after 30 minutes of running (compared to 30 minutes of walking or 30 minutes of resting). So that's a thing that happens, apparently.
I think I got an endorphin rush at the naked lady spa post mega-soaking and then being scrubbed down to mega-fresh skin. Or whatever the relaxed version of endorphins are. Jesus, that was an amazing feeling. I just felt good. So good.

I love that their mind went to the Running of the Ferrets. Do you suppose they tried any other animals? "We're ready for the next test subject. Get one of the interns to chase this penguin around for half an hour making seal noises."
With these knees, I'm not likely to get an endorphin rush from running unless a bear stumbles across me at the local lake.
Or dig a DEEP DEEP hole and have y'all help me with an alibi.
I have relatives who own property in the woods, no longer have dogs, and travel frequently. IJS.
