Haggen to Haggen

The 5k racing season is well underway and last weekend Kristi and I ran our favorite Bellingham race: the Haggen to Haggen. I mean, not only do you get the normal perks of a 5k (endorphins, a little competition, and the feeling of accomplishment) but this race also has an unbelievable amount of loot at the end. Most races provide water or some form of nutritious beverage, but at the Haggen to Haggen, you basically get to grocery shop your way through enough food for breakfast AND lunch immediately after crossing the finish line. It's the best. We came prepared with plastic bags this year - we weren't messing around. After we had sufficiently pillaged the free goods, we caught the free shuttle back to the start line to pick up the car. Not only do you get to exercise, but then you get to stuff your face with free food AND be lazy on the way home.

Man I love Bellingham.
