A Goose Chase

If you read my blog you know I will enjoy a running scavenger hunt from time to time. Well I am currently enjoying a 21 day hunt as part of the Sub 30 Club.

Through the app, Goose Chase, my tea: Team Goucher is hunting for over 400 things. We are up against 9 other teams. We are competitive, but have yet to be the leader of the chase. Hey we have 21 days!

While I continue to train for all the races (Madison Mini, Backpocket, Fort 2 Base, North Face 50k, Chicago Marathon, Urban Bourbon 13.1, Hot Chocolate 15k in Chicago) and stay on task for 2015 miles in 2015.

Here are some of the things I have found. I even took Josh along for one of the runs. Also it’s a lot of fun taking selfies with things.

• Road mile marker 3
• a mailbox with the flag up – is this a federal offense?
• trailhead
• mail carrier truck – ?? see note on mailbox above
• signs with the letter X
• Veterinary clinic
• yellow flag
• theater
• bakery
• cake in a display – “Hi can I take a picture with that cake in your display?” LOL
• ferris wheel
• house under construction
• ATM  – ok lets take a picture of the ATM inside the bank, and run away
• sports bar
• blue compression socks

There are things I have yet to see in my running area, or things I am glad I have not seen, but my teammates are powering through. As the chase continues I hope someone finds the skunk, a street sign from England, a bear, an airplane on a runway, etc
