Report written by Bournemouth runner
This group run were tasked with handing out flyers to as many care homes as possible in Bournemouth. The flyers were for Pause Cat Cafe, who look after 11 rescue cats and invite people to come and have food and drinks and enjoy their company. The Cafe are running a Christmas celebration day for local seniors to come and spend time with other seniors and potentially make new friends, as well as spend time with cats, which they may not be able to spend time with in their care homes. A really lovely idea and we were happy to help that happen!
9 brave runners turned up in the wet and cold...they had the choice of splitting up into two teams where one goes and does an indoor task whilst the other does the flyer drop....and they all wanted to stick together and go for a longer run, despite the rain!! Amazing group of people!
We managed to hit 7 Care homes and get some hill training in along the way...perfect for Caprice and Daryl who are running the Bovington Half this Sunday! Good luck guys, I'm sure you'll be amazing and have a great time! Hope the weather is better for you!
During our run I challenged the group to dodge puddles...so much so that we decided that the first person to step in one would have to buy the first round of mulled wine after.....yep, I stepped in one first! Typical!!!
We had a lovely time drinking some mulled wine and cider by the ice rink, under some blankets and twinkly lights! A great way to end a very soggy last group run of 2017!
Congrats to Caprice for getting her black GoodGym t-shirt!! Hope to see Aby wearing hers next year too!!
We hope you all come and join us for 2018. First one back is 3rd January, which Daryl will be leading as I won't get back in time from my holiday!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone and a HAPPY NEW YEAR
