Up at 4:45am this morning to begin the 18-er. I was quite enthusiastic about it in the beginning although Nick was not...

He made us some eggs...

I became excited about my CamelBak...

Then I ate my eggs...

And we ran. Did our 18 miles, but had quite a few issues along the way. Even though the weather was a wonderful change of pace... thank you Isaac!!

Made it home barely in one piece. So wiped out, I couldn't even get motivated to take my "after" picture.

So I leave you with a nice thought by Kara Goucher, who I believe says it best:  

Now doesn't that make you want to go out and RUN?
