How many could I do in Victoria?
How many could I do globally?
Last year when I was doing the 5 5Ks, people often asked if I would do the Park Run instead. I would have but it just didn't work out to be the best events for me to participate in.
For those who don't know, the Park Run is a free 5K event run all over the world. You are "chipped" via a printed bar code for timing and registration.
You show up.
You run.
Easy.
It started in the UK but they are everywhere. There are 31 in Victoria alone.
There is one in my backyard at Albert Park.
But, there are only 4 in the USA.
None in Germany (where I was looking last year.)
None in South America at all but there is one in Point Cook! :)
I think they all run on Saturday mornings.
Normally, Saturday mornings are my Tan run. But, when Lisa isn't available, I am going to start the Park Runs around Victoria. I am sure I'll be doing South Africa and Denmark in no time! I think a goal of 5 for the year would be do-able.
