Runner's High

So, zee Germans have confirmed that the "runner's high" exists. When you run a long way, or at least when these distance runners did, they got a flood of endorphins into the brain.

I'm not sure I can vouch for the marathoner cited in the piece, when I got done all I wanted to do was lay down, cry, and make the pain stop. But after good run, when I'm feeling good, I feel a lot better than when I left the house. Up to the point that feeling when I'm in a bad mood and feeling pissed off, the best thing I've found to put me in a good mood is a run.
