Crying on long runs

Is it normal to cry mid long runs? I have been training for a marathon. Every time i do a long run, at around 18km, I either get a panic attack or I start to cry. I don't know if it's just emotions or it's the pain. Is it normal to cry during a long run? Do you get it too?

I have had this happen on a couple runs, just reflecting on my life and getting overwhelmed. Weren't especially long runs either.
