runners high

A concept runners have come up with to explain to non-runners after being asked for the thousandth time how it is possible to enjoy running
non-runner: So tell me again... why do you like running?
Long, exasperated pause.
runner: Ummm... Runners High.
non-runner: Ahh... I see

runner's high 

Something that actually exists. After strenuous exercise endorphines are released creating a "high" feeling. Its not the same as a marijuana type high. Its more of a lightheaded feeling and you cant feel your body alowwing you to run even further. You wont get it if you run 5 minutes. Most feel the effect after 30-40 minutes of hard running.
Joe: Dude runner's high doesnt exist.

Bob: Thats because you only run a lap then give up you fucking pussy.

Joe: well how long do you have to run?

Bob: about half an hour.

Joe: fuck that.

exercise isnt for everyone.

Runner's High 

A supposed "high" attained by release of endorphins during and after high amounts of aerobic activity. Possibly developed in the 1960's as a way to get the drug addicts of the class to exercise. Current research indicates no high is ever achieved via this method, and so can efficiently labeled "Bullshit".
Fred: Hey man! Lets go for a run and get a runner's high!
Me: You're an idiot. Go take some LSD.
Fred(tripping): OH MY GOD!!!! THE COLORS ARE TALKING TO ME!!!!
Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
