I don't think I usually go long enough to get the endorphin rush, honestly.
I usually get some form of vigorous exercise about once a week. (Otherwise, I start getting lethargic and depressive and my pants stop fitting.) I'd rather get it outside. Jogging involves more of a sense of accomplishment than exercise videos, plus vitamin D and a chance to look at flowers. However, I am a wimp and will not run in the cold or the rain (unless it's a really warm rain - that's kinda fun). So I haven't been running much since fall.
I enjoy the first ten minutes a lot. I enjoy the rest of the day fifteen minutes after I've stopped even more. That period between is much less fun, and usually involves a violent argument in my head over whether it's ok to stop now or not. And then once I have stopped, an argument over whether it's ok to collapse in a ball and die. (OK, it's usually not that bad. Yesterday I kind of pushed myself farther than it turns out my body was willing to go, and my cardiovascular system wasn't totally pleased with me.)
