Our group run this week was supposed to help us skip purgatory by painting the gates at St Clements Church. ...however, after some mix up with that task (not on our end!) I was left scrambling to find another worthy cause for us to help for the evening. It was all a bit short notice though so we decided on a litter pick instead.

It was great to welcome Rob along for his first group run. A keen and able runner who has always wanted to come along but has never had a Wednesday free to join us. Well tonight was finally the night! We hope you had a good time and that we see you next week again Rob!

We paired up and after hitting the promenade and running with the wind...to protect our sensitive ears....the competition to see which partnership would fill up their bin bag first started...and it was hard going to start with. There wasn't a lot of rubbish along the promenade at all! We did manage to find a children's sword and a boat fender though! You'll find Lee and Abi modeling them below!

We moved away from the promenade and climbed the Steps of Hell by the Harvester to move to the top of the cliff and continue along there. On the way back down the chine we hit the mother load!! So much rubbish everywhere!! Rob and Lee managed to fill up their bag first...although the did go missing at times....Reckon they were emptying rubbish bins into their bag...only kidding!!!

We filled up the remaining bags and put them in the bins and continued our run with hands free. We needed everything we had to battle the 20mph head winds on our way back!!

On the run back we spoke about a get together that Daryll and Caprice as Task Force members had been planning. We're going to Coffee and Dice in Boscombe on the 23rd. For an evening of boards games, drinks, laughs, drinks, and maybe a boogie afterwards and drinks. If you are around come along!!!

Also, next week we are helping a really important cause. Come along to our group run and help a family keep their home. They need help with painting and refurbishing to stop them getting evicted. Join us!!!

Have a great week everyone!!!
