Something different for the early birds.  This week we will will join in with the Porirua Park Run (5km).  A chance to experience this growing event, share the benefits of running for Olympic with others, nip back with the other Parkrunners to MacDonalds for a cup of coffee afterwards and still have a free afternoon to get those garden tasks sorted, plus you get to see the sun rise -- the list of benefits goes on!

If you have not done a Parkrun before you will need to register for a barcode -- the organisers use this to run the timing system.  You need to print it out yourself and either pop it in a plastic bag or wrap it with tape in case of rain, so it is worth doing before you are scrambling to find your shoes on Saturday morning.
