Getting your player ready...
If you believe the true meaning of the holiday season is giving, consider giving your old running shoes to a worthy cause. Here are three organizations that put old sneakers to good use:
* Eco-Cycle in Boulder accepts old running shoes at its Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials (5300 Old Pearl St., 303-444-6634).
* Sole Purpose distributes shoes in good condition to local homeless shelters. Send an e-mail to Lnilo@hotmail.com for details.
* One World Running collects running shoes in good condition for runners in Africa and other impoverished countries around the world. Call 303-473-1314 for drop-off locations.
