8 Mile (cue music)

Sometimes I just feel like, quittin I still might
Why do I put up this fight, why do I still write run (Eminem, 8 Mile)

This is how I feel the first mile of EVERY run, no matter how long or short. Ya just gotta push through it...and so I did. 8 miles done. Now, of course, there was this scrumptious breakfast casserole awaiting us, but we still did it. ;) We kept a decent speed even with the humidity. It got up to low 90's yesterday. Overall, I feel great today. My left knee is a "smidge" sore. I hate to even jinx myself. Alas, I am attributing it to my weight. Gotta "lighten the load" a bit. Last half marathon, I was about 12 pounds lighter. On to the dreaded "d" word...My diet was really quite good last week. I even skipped pizza on Friday Family Movie Night. I did have some popcorn, but it was the 100 calorie kind. Diet is good, run was good and today is the day of rest! Yeah for me!
