Happiness of a great run

I fell in love with running in 2020. I have reaped tons of benefits from this one habit. One of the key ones has been happiness.
I haven’t had a good two months of running. I have struggled a lot. It’s important to struggle to balance out the good days. I was okay with the struggle. But I was waiting for the day when things turn around.
Today was one of those days. Everything clicked. The weather. The feeling in my feet. The calmness in my mind. Everything just fell in place. After a long time had an amazing run. It wasn’t the fastest. It wasn’t the longest. But it was just right.
I have talked about runners high before, so I don’t want to elaborate much on it again. Experiencing runners high is amazing. It’s similar to how anyone feels the state of flow in any of their favorite activities.
Today was the day. Today was a beautiful run.
