Not sure if this sculpture has anything to do with that, but it definitely adds a bit of whimsy to the hotel grounds. Just noticed: It looks like the turtle is about to eat those red flowers! 🤣

Instagram post 17846489911209959 Another #halfmarathon in the books!  Also one more state checked off my #50by50!  This race was no joke... LOTS of hills and the weather wasn’t great.  Although it was the hardest race I’ve ran, both physically and mentally, it sure was pretty.  Now I am suffering the pain of running and then riding in a car for 10+ hrs to get home yesterday!  My feet were swollen! 😳 I haven’t been following a meal plan other than the #seefooddiet and my training really slipped off this month, but I am still proud of this race.  On to #newgoals... more to come later on that!
