192nd New Thing - Ran Cherry Creek Sneak


The Sports Authority Cherry Creek Sneak is Denver's largest fun run that and offers waves for families and elite runners alike, including timed run/walk courses of 10-miles, 5-miles, 3.1-miles, and a 1.5-mile Sneak Sprint. There’s a ½-mile Kids’ Fun Run for ages 8 and under, and a Diaper Dash for kids under 2 in the Kids’ Fun Zone. The first race began at 8am. Race registration was $45 for adults, $20 for youth ages 17 and under, and $30 for seniors ages 60 and over. More than 10,000 runners and walkers will celebrate 3 decades of a Denver running tradition at the Cherry Creek Sneak as it is its 30th anniversary this year. The 1st Sneak was in 1982. The race added a 10-mile race to its collection of other races which is the longest race in its history. Food Bank of the Rockies collects non-perishable food items for families in need. The race is held in the Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver.

The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better.

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
