How hard are you pushing it? Increase the difficulty/duration, and you may find a different outcome. I'm not talking pro-athlete level, but competitive high school athlete level (2-3 hours / day, 5-6 days / week, with some good lung heaving moments each day).

> On the other hand, if I have been lazy for a period, then one day I do a very brief exercise, even a 10-min moderate run, makes me feel excellent. However when I start doing those runs everyday, I don't feel that same good feeling.

I don't think this is the opposite. One is moderation of laziness, the other of physical activity. "If I'm lazy for a week, the day of exercise after that lazy week is more enjoyable".

Hardness varies but it's always proportional. Doesn't matter if it's a 10-min extra walk or 3000-calorie burned full day of snowboarding. If I'm relatively performing more physical activity, I feel better, proportional to the amount of extra activity.
