Report written by Jonny Carter
Tonight we were going to Ann's garden in Edgbaston to basically cut it back. Amy joined GG Brum for the first time after moving over to the Brum area, so it is lovely to have you on board.
Jonny and Amy ran just over 3k to the task who were joined by the other Amy who was walking, Ben who had ran there straight from work and James who cycled to our task destination.
We were welcomed by Ann, but unfortunately as it had rained so much (unlike England I know!!!) we weren't able to use the shears to cut back the grass. Though all was not lost, we had a good chat with Ann who being an isolated older person, recently out of hospital would im sure have appreciated our company. What we have done is decided to come back to do the task as a Community Mission in the coming weeks :)
After we'd said goodbye to Ann, Jonny, Amy and Ben headed out for a run, taking in the Reservoir, canals and city centre. By the time we'd got back we'd completed a fantastic if somewhat soggy 10k :)
