Thought About BF When I Read This
This is an interesting article on the relationship between exercise and addiction, among other things. I'm not saying I necessarily agree with it, but it did make me think and reflect a bit.

Very interesting article, there seemed to be a lot of people taking offense to it in the comments section. On the A&E television show Intervention, they did an intervention on a girl who was addicted to "alcohol and exercising", they did not really cover the exercising that much. As long as you can exercise injury free and properly feed your body, do it as much as you want! When you stop exercising as much, you probably will feel like crap, but a lot better than if you had not exercised.

Re: the article, I surely notice how addictive and mood-altering cycling is for me. When I haven't ridden in a few days, Mr. Hyde starts showing up more often.
