Last week I bemoaned the fact that small children were lapping me on my first Parkrun. This week I was passed by a man pushing a pram! The cheek of it!

Try not to think of it as being passed by a baby!

It probably conceals a motor and is pulling him along. :)

Great minds Vix :) Do you think they'd let me erm... push my bike along a little bit.

Yes, and they are those all terrain go faster jobs aren't they, mind you a couple of weeks ago when it was really muddy on our park run track one got stuck, which I must say did bring a slight smile to my face as I trotted past (others were helping by the way - I wouldn't ignore anyone who needed help)

This week a chap seemed to be being pulled along by his dog, he had a waist harness, so probably regretted that!

Isn't having Huskies to pull you along cheating? And what a way to treat a baby - bouncing it around like that and then getting it stuck in the mud ! Tsk tsk! :)

ha ha! Well I suppose you could say the dog enhanced the chaps performance, his arms and legs were flailing a bit, which did concern me, you know like you're going down hill too fast.

I'm not convinced there was a baby in the pushchair, it was all black with a rain cover, it may have been planned to be used as a snow plough to shift runners out the way, they can be classed as weapons after all.

Oh Wow - like those Roman Charriots in Gladiator with spikes and things on the wheels. Park Run is beginning to sound quite cool :) X

I had a couple of Km close to boy of about 8 this morning. He didn't stop chatting the whole way whilst I could hardly breathe!!

I never cease to be amazed by the teenage girls who can breeze along catching up on all their gossip passing me going as fast as I can!!. Can't be jealous though as its such a gift that they find it so easy!!
