Tybee Turtle Trot

With my cousin Liz after the race in front of the museum.

Loggerhead Sea Turtle headed home.

I just loved the look on this little boy's face when they brought the turtle by.

Two smaller Green Sea Turtles that were released.

I did another 5K this weekend on Tybee in the sand! I finished in 36 minutes this time. I ran without stopping. It was gorgeous. I think I could run on the beach EVERYDAY. The sea breezes and the view make the time fly by. Anyway, the run Saturday was right up my alley. Most of you know I have a tattoo of a sea turtle on my shoulder. I got it when we stayed on St. Joe's Peninsula in FL after we encountered a sea turtle laying her eggs on the beach. It was a very moving experience for me. The run Saturday was to raise money for Tybee's Sea Turtle program. After the run, they released 4 rehabbed sea turtles. One of them made me cry. He only had one flipper and when they first put him down to go out to sea, he turned around as if to say, "I'm not ready!". It was a beautiful weekend at the beach!
