Event update: 10 miles!

If you didn't choose to GOYB today, you missed a spectacular 10-mile walk along the water. Here's just a little of what we saw. Click to enlarge pictures.

 There was a fair amount of bones and other dead stuff today. This was a bird we found, haven't been able to ID the species yet.
 We walked all the way to Brevard County from Treasure Shore Beach (5.25 miles out, 10.5 miles round trip). Here is Heather in front of the sign to prove it.
 Here is me in front of the sign. And no, we didn't drive there, we really walked:-) I gots the blisters to prove it. And, Dave and Alison,  I finally figured out the Garmin, so I have the technology to prove it too!
This was our coolest sighting of the day. We saw a sea turtle from the bridge. Then we saw another, and another, I think in the end there were about 6 playing in the water.
Here is the divine Miss H. sitting on the VERY windy bridge. She was sitting on the railing and to be honest, I tried to take the picture as quickly as possible cause it was making me nervous, I was afraid she was about to take a swim with the sea turtles below.

So, we were quite proud of our accomplishment.  Bring on the 1/2 marathon! Seriously, other than the blister, I felt great during and after the walk. I used Glide, and worked great on the places that my sports bra hits, but it didn't seem to work quite as well on my foot.  I could really use some blister prevention tips and cures.
