Wisconsin, Cows & more Froyo

Last night I got to go running with a girl I haven't ran with before. In fact, she's never ran before. She asked me to show her how it's done!
 So we downloaded the Couch 2 5k app, and started with that. It was awesome being there at the start of her journey- that I remember so well. This program has you walk for 90 seconds, and run for 90 seconds. And I SO remember when I started out, being out of breath, barely making it the full 90 seconds, at the end of it, feeling like you just ran a marathon.
 She asked me if this was how I started, I said yes. I told her someday she could run a marathon too, to which she replied "in my dreams!"  We're going to start running together once a week, I'm so excited for her!!

After my Chicago Marathon I went to Wisconsin to visit my sister, her hubby and my precious, sweet, adorable nephew Rainor. I just cannot get enough of his adorableness!

 

And his pretty Momma!

While I was there we went to a dairy farm to get some raw milk from their grass fed organic cows. I had never tried raw milk before and it was delicious!

Grilled sweet potatoes, steak and green beans.

Thanking them for the steak the night before.
(And apologizing too, of course. I can't help it.)

The calves started licking my brothers knee, and I have never seen him laugh so hard! Anytime I need cheering up, I just look at these pictures!

 My brother and I went to the Eisenbahn trail for a 3 mile run. For the first time ever, he ran a full mile nonstop. So proud of my little bro!!

I had an awesome time, it was the perfect way to recover from a bad marathon!

Mid sneeze!!

Orange Leaf just happened to be next to the gas station where I was filling up, on my way home. Totally a coincidence. Really.
 My BIL said I should change the name of my blog to "From ice cream to marathon, and back to ice cream."
 Haha! He's so funny.


QOTD:
 Have you had raw milk?
What's your fave froyo flavor? (This one is mine, pumpkin and cheesecake. Yummm!)
