I've seen a GI & had all the tests to rule out other, worse things - but am fine. Its a dairy issue. Now, i don't touch the stuff with a 10 foot pole (in any way, shape or form) - and my stomach is happy. Don't know if that will help you - just thought i'd throw it out to you! By the way - great race report ...zannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169968339980800861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-54784650342037816742007-06-07T12:35:00.000-04:002007-06-07T12:35:00.000-04:00congrats on becoming an ultra runner. sounds like...congrats on becoming an ultra runner. sounds like an amazing adventure with all the rain and mud.Deenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619954455326699381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-84779730257785692562007-06-07T10:32:00.000-04:002007-06-07T10:32:00.000-04:00Stumbled across your blog and loved reading your r...Stumbled across your blog and loved reading your race report!

I can't EVEN imagine running 36 miles on the freekin road and you did it in the woods, sans bathroom, in the rain/ wet sand, and hurt! I totally agree with Mendy. A lot of other people would've hung up their shoes. I know I would've been crying home to my Momma LOL. Absolutely amazing! And to come in 5th female overall to boot!! CONGRATS!!!

All that you told me on the phone, and in your blog doesn't even come close to fully explaining what you went through. But, like I said - you finished it!!! Do you know how many people wouldn't have even done that? I know a few folks that would have hung it up.<BR/><BR/>You are so strong, so determined, so tough and it shows! Ultra girl!!! Fantastic... I actually think that your 50miler will be easier than what you went through yesterday. Rest up girl and enjoy your downtime this week. You fully deserve it.<BR/><BR/>And, Scott - you are such a wonderful husband to her, and so supportive!
