Trotting with the turtles

My friend Donna and I ran the inaugural Turtle Trot 5K, sponsored by the Georgia Aquarium June 2.
The 5K, which started and finished near the aquarium in downtown Atlanta, benefited the aquarium's sea turtle program.
And since I have been running like a turtle lately, this was a great race for me!

Finisher's medal

This 5K had very nice finisher's medals at the end. The course was similar to many I have run in the downtown area. The great fun was because I was walking some (if not most!) of the course, I collected quite a bit of found money: 34 cents to be exact! I haven't been blogging about my found money this year, but the piggy is being fed.

Found money pig

He's been getting lots of pennies, some very road weary, but there have been some silver coins thrown in for good measure. We'll see how well I do by the end of the year.
Until then, Turtle On!
