Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Run

This Sunday, one of my bestest good friends and I are running the Minneapolis Recycle Run 5K. There are many reasons this event will be awesome:

• Free Twins tickets (and a T-shirt AND a water bottle). I love swag.
• There won't be a sheet of ice around the lake like last time.
• The finish line isn't positioned at the top of a hill.
• I will be running 3.1 miles rather than, say, 26 odd miles.*
• I am not prepared (at all) and will be running for the sheer joy of it. Any shaving of my 5K time will have to happen later.

I wonder if it's going to be anything like Steve's donut run in Iowa. Maybe if I recycle things during the race, it'll knock seconds off my overall time? I'm particularly good at recycling and reusing dirty clothes from my laundry hamper, other people's humor and the same three stories over and over again. Hopefully there will be loads of embarrassing inspirational pictures to post on Monday. Have a great weekend everyone.

* Good luck Boston marathoners J-Money, Nitmos and Robin (and anyone else kicking it up Heartbreak Hill). I'll be cheering you on from my very-comfy office chair on Monday.
