parkrun

What?
It's a FREE, fully timed 5km run, conducted by volunteers and it happens every Saturday morning.  Google it!

Where?
It started in the UK, but now they're everywhere.  Berwick Springs is our home park run, but Albert Park is a bit special, and when we travel for events we try to check out the local offering too.

Why?
It's just up the road and has become a fantastic social 'event' each week to catch up with the girls.  The park run community are very supportive and warmly welcome newcomers into the fold too.

When we first started I was focused on personal best times, trying to shave seconds off each week.  A bit silly given that I did no other training each week.  Now it's almost 100% social for me, and I'd almost prefer to volunteer than run :)
