I've found so much inspiration and motivation by following your journeys. Thanks for all of your encouragement. Also, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who cries on a run! :) You guys have made me feel so much better. I’ve found so much inspiration and motivation by following your journeys.

I hope you get a massage - sounds like maybe you just went out when you already had a little lactic buildup in the tissue and the first 8 miles just seized it up. Don't you feel great having it under your belt, though?! <br/>I'm going out this morning from Plymouth... I will miss running with you. Mike's too fast so I can't keep up with the K-family goings on!<br/>Try this song out of the blue - I am Free, by the Newsboys. It is the BEST running song ever recorded, I think. Great beat,great lyrics, "I am free to run, I am free to fly..." I sometimes play it over when I need a push. ;-) Awww – but the point is you made it.

Blame it on fatigue. I have actually caught myself signing outloud to songs before, and I play the 'air drums'. Nothing wrong with having fun when you are running. <br/><br/>I am happy and sad to hear that marathon training never gets easy. I thought it was just me.
