Ten brilliant people joined me in Brent as we ran nearly 7km to help Queen's Park Community Council deliver their newsletter.

Having forced everyone to drink some water to ensure we were hydrated in the heat we headed outside for the intro. Liz gave us a quick summary of the shindig, I reminded everyone about the Olympics on the 3rd and the social on the 8th before I went through the task info and health and safety.

We then headed off to the task - it was about a 3km run and we kept up a good speed through the heat and made it down to Queen Park in good time. It was on the run that spotted a friendly cat and it became a bit of a theme as you'll see from the pictures!

Once there, Lindsey soon arrived and we unpacked the boxes, split into teams and then began our work to distribute the newsletter.

We had 25 minutes and before we knew it we were done and had covered all the areas we needed, and weirdly, met many more cats!

Once everything was sorted we had a group photo and made Lindsey promise she would join us for a run soon and then we headed back to base. The run home is always a bit harder as we have a big uphill but everyone worked hard and managed to get up the hill without stopping - well done!

Once back at base, yup we did see another cat, we stretched and then it was time for a drink and for our flag designing session. Many ideas were thrown around but I think we've got a great design planned. Make sure you come along to the Olympics to see it!

I'm away next week but Tabitha is in charge, make sure you come along!

Cheers,
