Social Run report Milton Keynes

Social Run report 1st January 2012

“Would any one turn up for the first Social Run of the year.............................................Of course they would. A little partying the night before and a few shandy's would never put off our intrepid and dedicated band of Social Runners! We did set off an hour later, to accommodate those who had just changed from their party clothes and into their running gear! The warm-up took place in the staff car park – cramped but cosy and safe.

Dry, over-cast and mild conditions were the order of the day.......just right to blow away the cobwebs away and deal with the after effects of too much Christmas Pud.

 
We now have an established course just over 10K with a variety of inclines as well as very frequent changes of scenery ranging from urban pavement/paths to canal tow paths and woodland. No records were going to be set but the group did finish the course within 1hr 20mins. Back at the store, we held a prize draw for a new Up & Running Technical Jacket worth £40.00. Well done to our winner, Len! All the runners received a one-off New Year discount of 20% off in-store as well as 10% off in Costa. All runners names will be included in the nationwide monthly draw to win £100.00 Sub4 technical clothing.

A big thank you to our Social Runners and staff for supporting our runs and making them a huge success.

Our next run will be 29th January 2012 at 10:30am and every last Sunday of the month there after. Put it in your new diary now."

Gerry, Amy and team.
