Just some additional trivia since you brought them up. There’s evidence of other chemicals (called endocannabinoids) in our body being elevated due to running. One chemical of this pathway is called anandamide and gets it’s name from the Sanskrit word ‘anand’…which is what you’re experiencing 🙂

Much of what you write is what passes through our minds as well. We all have our fears and phobias. However, the satisfaction that one gets after having tackled head-on these fears is immeasurable. It gives us strength to tackle the next challenge, to pat ourselves on our backs and to move on :). Good Luck for Hyderabad – cheers.
