Advantages of doing a parkrun.....

[BTX4]

Just had an email from parkrun saying well done on finishing today and telling me that I came second in my age category veteran women 55-59. I bet there were only 2 of us anyway.... lol. But the good news is that they send you a voucher from sweatshop for £15 towards a new pair of trainers! So anyone who is thinking of buying some go and do a run and get the voucher. I would imagine its the same for all the runs. Did others get one?

The other advantage of doing a course you go round 5 times is being continually lapped by fit young men in shorts.

I didnt get a voucher! But never mind! Well done you!

I got one. I already bought new trainers and there's not a sweatshop near me anyway. You can easily find the voucher by searching google. Just a tip if there's no parkrun in your area or you didn't get the voucher Otherwise you should do a parkrun!

Was it chasing the fit young men in shorts that helped you run so quickly ?

[BTX4 Graduate in reply to sfb350]

Lol. Maybe I was going so slowly because I was enjoying the view from behind when being lapped

Hey BTX4 I'm impressed that you managed to check out the shorts running past you and breath at the same time. At my age if I study too hard it takes all my breath away!

I got an email I was 1st in my age group but they forgot to say there was only me in that group!

I got a voucher after my first parkrun. I think everyone is supposed to get one. There was a link in the email.

I haven't used mine, they gave me 20% off because I registered with the sweatshop running community and go every week. I also got 20% off some new running clothes
