My first ultramarathon

[emily_in_nc]

Wow! 4 miles is an ultra-marathon for me, so it is simply beyond comprehension to imagine running 10x that far. Good, good for you!

Wow, good job...that's a hard thing to do, especially under the circumstances. I hope your pup is OK. How is your blister, now?

Wow Tri Girl. Great job!!! That's amazing. I'm sorry it was so tough on you. Hope your pup and your foot feel much better soon!

Thanks, everyone. I really had a lot of fun!!!
I was able to take care of the blister today. Much better, but still very hurty. I can't wait to run again.

My pup is OK. My friend was working the aid station and saw that I was upset so she went to my house and got my dog (Kona) and brought her to the race. She put her in her pop-up kennel so I could keep an eye on her throughout the day and night. Kona had another seizure on Sunday morning when we got home from the race. My regular vet called me Sunday afternoon and said that the seizures are likely a result of the heartworms (oh yes, she had hearworms when she was surrendered to animal welfare). In 4 weeks if she still has the seizures we'll have to investigate options for her. Thanks for asking. I've only known her a week, but I just love her so much. Since losing our black lab last month, my heart's been missing something and I'm so glad I found it.

I'll keep your pup in my prayers.

Wow, awesome job on the race! I can't even imagine going that far!!

I've witnessed two dog seizures in my life and they scared the crap out of me (the first time, I didn't realize what was going on!). That's got to be hard. I hope she's past it soon!

I've witnessed two human seizures in my life, and ditto. I don't know if it would be easier or harder with a dog.
