I know. i have experienced runners high too. But if you are running or exercising such a lot from fear of gaining weight or not losing, that's a problem.
If you are just running because you love it, that's different.
There have been times when i was running two hours most days. It was great until i damaged my knee from over training. I was pissed off i can tell you. I loved it. But suddenly i had to quit. And i was getting ready to enter my first half marathon. I"ve never had another go, sadly.
