Turtles to Chicago!!

52 Flavors recently completed the 8th Annual Turbo Turtle Triathlon in beautiful, Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Personally, the Turbo Turtle always reminds me to smile through all athletic events (hey, we're turtles!) and to ponder learning how to swim one of these years. Thanks to all the wonderful Seegers for putting on such an amazing, inspiring event and thanks to all the participants for making it so memorable. (Pictures will be posted soon)

Now, Bridget, Carrie and I continue our training that will take us to Chicago in early October. Last week, we all ran a half marathon and this week we step back to 10 miles before hitting 15 next Saturday. Believe me, if anyone would ever suggest that 10 miles was a "step back" week a few months ago, I would have had quite the chuckle. Now, every day we're learning that all we need to do is start where we are and take one step forward. If you take your time and enjoy your days -- whether walking 1 mile or running 4, things start to change. You get stronger, it just happens. And you learn to laugh at yourself a little more because hey -- you're a little crazy for doing this.

Onto the next adventure, Turtles!
