It wasn't looking like group run weather yesterday, but as the day went on the sun came out and we had perfect conditions for our lovely session at Christchurch community garden, a local space which is being cared for by a group of volunteers.
After a warm up we had a chat about all the nice things we had got up to over the weekend. There were loads of joyful things happening, including birthday parties, new jobs, trips to the seaside, birthdays, and looking after littlies - you know how to make the most of the weekend!
We ran over to the community garden and launched straight into a tough but short session focussed on legs and abs., all helped by an incredibly cute little pup eager to see what we were up to. Sorry about the frogs/squat combination!
Then it was over to meet Nigel who gave us a selection of tools to use to break down and pack up a pile of wood. We've been working on this pile for quite some time - take a look at the picture taken earlier this Summer when we first began. We're so close to finishing it! I had a message from Nigel this morning, who said, "Thank you so much for the hard work your team put in yesterday evening. It is really a great help to us at Christ Church". Great job everybody - well done on some really hard work.
Next Monday's session to be confirmed shortly, watch this space...until then, happy running!
