Having been a squatter in the marketing industry for a while, I'm constantly surprised by how effective the repackaging, or re-configuration of an existing product can be.
Such is the Parkrun concept - some might say its the T20 of running. In order to have a birthday celebration, without actually having to organise a birthday celebration, I suggested whoever was free come down to the Nahoon Point Parkrun on Saturday morning, 08:00 sharp, and then stick around for breakfast afterwards at Reef Cafe.
So it turns out the social running scene in East London is alive and kicking and a crowd of hundreds had pitched for the race. I use the word race loosely - its not a race, if you race you look silly - its a solid 5km over all manner of terrain including an epic moment along the crest of Bat's Cave. It's free and a great opportunity for other people to see you being energetic and to complement you accordingly.

Starts: 08:00 sharp every Saturday - be there by 07:40 to get a good parking.
Officially the worst photo of me running, ever. |
