Was great to see so many people with head torches tonight... mine looked like something a miner would wear!

Although the run was listed as a 7km distance, when I checked on Google Maps earlier it was saying 9.5km (oops!) but it ended up being about 7.5km so not sure what happened there.

I did supply a couple of packs of biscuits for added incentive and was even tempted to put one on a piece of string for everyone to chase haha.

We headed to Marlpit Community Centre to weed and clear the car park area.

Catherine and Michelle volunteered to be our glamorous back runners this week - thank you ladies even if you did nearly scare me off my bike on my way home afterwards!

We had a decent paced run there and on arrival Mahesh and his team welcomed us and went through the task ahead.

It didn't take long for our GoodGymers to fill up the compost bin and another fantastic job was achieved.

I'm not sure I can mention some of the conversations that were taking place about the firmness of the brooms being used... I'll stop that right there.

On the way back the guys and gals got a chance to open their legs up on Dereham Road. We then regrouped at the bottom of Grapes Hill before tackling that beast and returned to The Forum.

Next week we are running to Silver Road Community Centre to trim a big bush.
