A very warm welcome to our first-timers this evening, Michael, Sophie and Nick. It was lovely to have you all with us, and we hope to see you again soon! A warm welcome too to Julian who joined us this evening from Greenwich.

We had a slightly different task lined up for us this evening, with a spot of plogging around Lewisham to tidy up our local streets and green spaces. It soon became apparent that the slow pace of plogging was no match for a cold dark evening in February, so everyone formed pairs for some impromptu...

• Sprinting and press ups
• Sprinting and squats
• Sprinting and lunges
• And just plain sprinting!

"Something fruity in the park..." I'll say anything to make speedwork sound fun!

Despite Lewisham looking relatively tidy this evening, we still managed to collect up an impressive 5 bin bags of litter in a little over an hour, great work everyone! Today's top find had to be the crisp £10 note found by Michael! And a big thanks to Chloe for sweeping up as backmarker this evening.

Check out the link for next week's group run and task here; it will be a much warmer affair helping out at GRACE in Lee. See you there!
