I spread my scavenger hunt across the long weekend. I found a few of my items on Saturday morning at the Women Rock MN 10k. I found a few more as my husband I walked a few miles around the Uptown/Lakes area of Minneapolis. I meant to finish up on my 9 mile run this morning, but had to settle for finding a few more items on a walk this afternoon.

Read after the break to see what I found:

Found this historic landmark in Uptown. It is the building that houses Chino Latino my most favorite of all time restaurant.

This water-not in bottle, on your person, or for purchase was in Upper Landing Park along the riverfront in St Paul. This was where my 10k started on Saturday.

This non-domesticated ducky was chilling at Lake of the Isles.

I found this graffiti in an alley way next to Uncommon Grounds in Uptown.

An out of state license plate. North Dakota.

Holy Great Dane! That is definitely someone walking a dog!

This stranger has lovely handwriting. This menu board was in front of Amore Victoria, a little Italian restaurant.

This political sign represents one of the hot button issues in our state right now.

Disposing of some coffee shop litter in the correct receptacle.

It’s fun to stay at the YWCA. It still counts right? Chicks are way cooler any way :)

Using the public restroom before the 10k. That’s the porta potty door.

Sticker on a street sign at the Lake Calhoun bike path.

Dude in an orange shirt working on his fitness at lake of the Isles.

Billboard for CB2.

Footprints in the sand at Lake Calhoun.

Iced skim chai at Dunn Brothers in Uptown. Treating myself to a little snack/break.

I can’t even begin to describe how happy this hint of autumn makes me.

Bus stop!

The front of page of today’s newspaper. Slightly ironic being that I was in Minneapolis and this is the St Paul paper.

A map of the chain of lakes. I do the majority of my training here.

Trail reconstruction = multiple traffic cones.

Flowers in my favorite color.

In all I did about 17 miles on my feet this weekend. It was fun to have an activity to distract me while running/walking.
