Sure, running has excellent health benefits and you can just do it without mixing in any other activities, but if you want to be efficient with your exercise, consider plogging. A phenomenon for about the last 10 years in Sweden, deriving from blending “jogging” with the phrase “plocka upp” or “pick up,” this eco-friendly way to power walk has you pick up litter as you go. Austin Beerworks sweetens the pot by rewarding all the garbage grabbers with a free beer, and prizes can be procured by finding the silliest item, collecting the most trash, and more. Beautify a little slice of Austin and your soul. – Kat McNevins
