Afterglow

I love that afterglow feeling from running hard for a cause I'm passionate and an event I contributed to bring to life over several months. 
Other times it is the afterglow from completing a race or an adventure I trained and focused on weeks on end. 
This, for me, is the true runners high – the knowledge that I've accomplished what I set out to do. It's a moment to appreciate the effort I've poured in, effort that's a big part of who I am.

Of course, I'll soon be diving into "the next thing", that's just my nature. But today, I'm taking a pause, soaking in the sense of accomplishment, and being grateful for this moment.
