I stomached the Goat Milk!

Wow!!!!!!! That pretty much sums up the Goat Milk experience! Of everything that I heard and read about this course, I just never imagined the hills to be as steep and continuous as I saw and FELT them to be yesterday! That was a great experience! I enjoyed running with Dawn, Lisa and Hallie. Special thanks to Melissa for always being so concerned about us and for being our cheerleader!! It was also great to meet her brother. He is so sweet! Now, yesterday really put things into perspective for me--I have an inflamed tendon that MUST heal before I REALLY get injured. My feet, ankles and knees feel better today, but they were killing me yesterday (especially my ankles and feet!) I have to concentrate on Xtraining, as I have not done that--only the runs and some walking. I think I need to increase my weekday runs too--I am anly doing 3-4 miles 2-3 times per week and then the long one. I just aired up the tires on my mountain bike, and I will actually put my Y membership fees to use! I feel great today--the pride of completing something so challenging is paramount! Yesterday, I was in a daze until mid-afternoon. I left Utica and headed back to Madison for my boys' Tball and baseball games! The season will be over next week, and the break from this mid-afternoon heat will be nice! Woo-Hoo!!!! After that, we went out to eat sushi at Little Tokyo and then Bops! I slept like a brick. I am wearing my T-shirt today, and doing nothing!!!!!!
It was so good to see you guys yesterday......the team effort really makes all the difference in the world! We are marathoners!!!!!!
