The state of euphoria while running is called runner's high. It is said that the longer they run, the happier they become while the longer the more painful in my case. It might be one of the reasons why so many runners are running all around the world. I have never had the opportunity to experience runner's high, but I can easily imagine how it feels. Actually I felt it today. It was such a fine day that I rode my motorcycle and ran around the forest in the suburbs of Obihiro. A straight gravel rode was running through the forest which was filled with fresh air and the sunlight filtering down through the leaves. There were no cars and motorcycles except for me. It was so pleasant that I soon fell in the state of euphoria which can be called "rider's high." It was such a feeling as my legs and the tires were directly connected and I could feel any small gravels on the road. After enjoying riding though the tube of forests sometimes with foxes and birds, I found the fuel was almost empty and came back reluctantly to the city. I'm thinking about carrying a sub fuel tank next time so that I can enjoy riding for longer hours.
