I am a sucker
for bargains and freebies.
The Adam Smith in me can’t help but
patronize stores that come up with sales
promos that entice consumers to part ways with their hard earned monies. It can even be argued that the BP stands for "bargain purchaser." Thus, when I saw
the poster announcing the Runnr eyewear at Php 59, my cerebrum
clanged "BUY, BUY, BUY."
What a consumer
needed to do to be able to avail of the privilege to buy a Php 1,200 running
shades for only Php 59 was to procure Php 2,000 worth of Runnr goods. I figured out the running items I needed to
buy anyway, with or without the inducement.
Presto, the purchase was made for
Php 1,700 worth of running gels and the balance taken up by 2 pairs of running
socks. These are running goodies I needed as I train for ultra marathons this
year and the next.
As I paid for
the items and gazed into my running eyewear, I could just imagine both my frontal and occipital lobes in
harmonious bliss. Not only is the Runnr eyewear good and refreshing to look at,
it made sense for me to have one when I
run given what I hear on the effects of sunlight on our vision. As indicated in the website of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (http://www.epa.gov/), research has shown that UV radiation increases the likelihood of cataract, a
form of eye damage in which a loss of transparency in the lens of the eye
clouds vision. Other kinds of eye damage resulting form exposure to UV include
pterygium (tissue growth that van block vision) and degeneration of the macula
(the part of the retina where visual perception is most acute. These problems
can be lessened with proper eye protection.
If you have lots of cash to spare, you can go for the Rudy Projects and
Oakleys. But if you are like me, we can
go for the Runnr.
Thank you to the
Runnr store for an excellently sensible promo.
