At one of my cross country meets, I had a friend stand on his hands and pretend like he was running upside down. While it seemed like a silly concept, the result was a representation of a phenomenon called "runner's high", which I have experienced myself as a runner. At a certain point during a run or a race, your body seems to float and leave your mind and soul flying across the ground. It is in these moments that I feel no pain, yet I am straining to continue forward. This is one of life's greatest pleasures. This is why I run, and this is why I create art.
