It’s all about endorphins.

When I gave up smoking I started running to burn off the excess energy. I ended up running 21 marathons, 2 ultras, and I don’t know how many 5 and 10K’s.

The only one’s who got my “rage” up were fat asses in cars who would cut in front of me to make a turn (almost hitting me). Another time I remember running in a tire track in a snow covered road and a motorist expected me to divert into 8” deep snow so she could get by. My brandished set of keys convinced her to give me space.

Long distance running is addictive but you have to be in shape to get there. As for rage there is plenty of room for runners and others so long as everyone has manners.

I’ve been in the military almost 18 years, and thus have to run.

I’ve never experienced those endorphins. Running is miserable no matter how often I do it, my physical condition, etc.

As soon as I leave the military, I will stop running.
