#runchat scavenger hunt!

i like to run.

I’m a regular participant in #runchat Twitter chats (if you’re a runner and you’re not chatting, go check them out!). They launched their first-ever photo scavenger hunt a couple weeks ago, which sounded like a lot of fun.

Of course I procrastinated until the last minute, but did manage to find most of the items on the list this weekend.

A running sticker (13.1, 26.2, etc.)

Bridge (bonus for covered)

A giant hill you’re going to run

It doesn't look like much, but that was tough!

Christmas decorations still up

I ran past a house with ornaments hanging from a tree at least once a week. And at the last minute, they changed it to an Easter egg tree. Well, at least it was easy to find more!

Trail marker or mile marker

Well, there were trail signs in my bridge and hill photos, but one more for good measure:

A scene from your favorite place to run

I’m counting the wooden bridge/water spot for one of my favorites, since it’s right around the corner from my house. I love living so close to water, even if it’s just a creek. My true favorite running spot in town is right on the Chesapeake Bay, but I didn’t run that route during the timespan of this scavenger hunt.

I did not find:

Historical marker/sign

Which is just laziness on my part for not having my phone with me all the time. I run downtown often.  I live in a historic city!

“Welcome to” state/city/county sign

I’m actually not sure where the ‘welcome to’ signs are in town. I have some from a favorite vacation spot, but that would be cheating!

Well, that was fun. I hope there are more of these and/or other fun challenges in the future!
