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 after-race festivity is a big block party (post-race fun draws nearly 20,000 racers, friends, and family for live bands, great swag, cool vendors, free beer, and a Kids’ Fun Zone sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children).

158th New Thing - Tried Sweet Potato Popchips

While we were at Albertsons doing our weekly grocery shopping, there was a lady there giving away free sample bags of Popchips so I took a sample of their Sweet Potato flavor. I had my 0.8 ox bag of Sweet Potato Popchips today with my lunch. Popchips were founded in 2007 in San Francisco as a healthy alternative to traditional potato chips. They aren't fried or baked, but popped by taking potatoes and adding a heat and pressure. They have won awards such as 'Best Snack' from Shape Magazine and 'Best Chips' from Health Magazine. My 0.8 oz bag had 100 calories, 3g fat, 95mg sodium, 16g carbohydrates, and 2g sugar. They had a slightly salted and sweet flavor in the airy chip. It was a good snack with my lunch.   What did you do today?
