9 awesome runners ran 4km to shift floor tiles at St John's church!

It was a lovely evening for a run and perfect conditions to explore a new borough! A trip to Bromley was on the cards to look after Adele's lovely new group!

We were joined by a few first timers which is always great! Big welcome to Frankie, Hannah and Ian! Hope you had a good first run with us!

After a nice easy jog to the park, we did a few little warm up exercises to get the all the joints and muscles fired up and ready to go! We set off through the park which had loads of weird and wonderful creatures, in statue form and in live form as well! I saw my first ever rat... actually no, I saw two.. and shrieked a little but no one else was phased, you Bromley lot are made of steel, not like us Greenwich folk!!!

Having successfully dodged the rats, about 15 minutes later we arrived at the church... which by the way was ENORMOUS!!! We went round to the back and were greeted by two lovely ladies and their insanely cute (and extremely intelligent!) 5 year old.

They pointed us in the direction of the tiles which needed shifting and everyone got to work!

30 tiles were counted out and placed near the bee hives while the rest were to be moved to the back of the shed a short walk away. Everyone grabbed a stack and started making their way over to the alligator shed!

There were lots of lovely beasties lurking around in the tiles... spiders, woodlice etc... but again, this Bromley crew are as hard as nails and not a peep came out of a single one of them! Everyone just got on with it! AWESOME!

Hannah and Stuart started moving some of the random bits of clutter that had accumulated at the bottom of the garden consisting of some weird tubing, a tent, some chairs and water butts!

UnBEElievable!

After 25 minutes or so, everything had been shifted to the shed and we were good to go! But not before we were shown the bee hives of course! Louise kept her distance after being bitten alive last week and resided by the campfire with a fresh mint tea! Lovely!

We headed back for a little fitness session in the park consisting of a few core exercises. The mozzies were out in full force so 5 minutes of ab burn and then we did a runner for the pub and called it a night!

Thanks so much for coming last night and well done on the task, you did amazing and got so much done! It was lovely to meet you all and if you're ever stuck for anything to do on a Wednesday night and fancy a run, come and say hi to me over in Greenwich!
