This past June, @TheRunChat held a photo scavenger hunt. Below are a few of my #RunChatHunt photos. A few of them I no longer have the originals but able to grab the collages from posts..
- Sports stadium: haven't run by any since the #Phillies5k in April. Rest of my photos are during the June contest.
- Yard sale: didn't run by any, but did pass one on the way to the trail.
- Sunrise/sunset: don't recall if I did any runs before work, if I did, no photo. :(
- Bridges: always knew my trail had some bridges, but never bothered to count. This includes run over, under, and by, 10 bridges in just over 5 miles!
- Animal on trail, usually see a deer every once in a while, first day of #RunChatHunt!
- I have seen the tail end of a snake on the trail before, but first time seeing one completely out there. It turned around when I paused to take its pic (from a safe distance of course. Lol)
- Next day saw this turtle, probably came from the marsh that's down the small cliff
- Speed limit sign: nothing exciting about this, grabbed during a neighborhood run.
- Public art: Merrymount Park, Quincy Ma. From a weekend trip to Boston.
- Local restaurant: I do pass one or two on the outside loop from my neighborhood, but I slacked on this one.
- Playground: 2nd block of my neighborhood run.
- Body of water: no shore runs this past June. Only water photos were the creek along the trail.
- #RunChatHunt was fun. I would have taken the animal pictures anyway. For the longest time, my runs pretty much only consisted of neighborhood runs or a few treadmills. Since discovering my love for trails, I try to make a point to enjoy nature a bit more. It's easy to get in a zone, whether concentrating on running, listening to music, or just plain daydreaming about other obligations it's still easy to forget to take in your surroundings. This was a nice reminder to enjoy nature's beauty.
