Challenge 12. Clean up! (04/06 - 04/12)

posted about 4 years ago | Report

It's usually a job for a new mayor, but now it's a job for dailymilers: time to clean up the streets!

The challenge for this week is to help cleanup the streets or trails that you run or ride on. We all pass trash while we're working out, so this time let's clean it up for the next person. Bring a trash bag (and gloves?) and see how much trash you can pick up. Alternatively, you can sign up to do this through a community service group.

Give yourself a pat on the back and then share the details of how you helped out!

    Great challenge! Do you want some pictures of our trash bags?

    I like the idea. I was actually thinking on my last run how all the snowbanks melting has left all this trash hanging out.

    I love this one! Every now and again I have what I call a "good samaritan run" where I'll pick up garbage along the way.

    I'll try to do that this weekend on my long run. Oh, I did move a lost hubcap out of the road yesterday!

    I did it! It was kind of difficult, I'm not gonna lie. It slowed down my pace and I felt a little awkward! But I also felt good about doing it! I blog about it at http://sherunsaround.blogspot.com/. I posted some pics there too.

    I didn't want to screw up my run so instead I took my rest day today and went on my route and picked up. So much trash from one of the cemetery's though.

    Ok, a little late, but I signed up through my running club to adopt a part of the trail we all use. So far all we have done is sign up so hopefully something will happen soon.
