15 runners lucked out and ran 5.5k on a dry and mild evening.

Task

To run to Oldfield Baptist Church and uproot their flower beds.

Welcome to Mark, who broke a fork on his first group run!

Congratulations to Ollie who hit 3 hours on the button for the Athens Marathon on the weekend. We do not expect him to pull a Pheidippides and run back to Bath bearing news of the battle.

A welcome back to Daisy who joined us for her second run - Steph will get her name right on the third.

Pascale returned in triumph from the Majorca Marathon to lead the run out to Oldfield while a partially-injured Steph back marked and took a shortcut specifically to catch everyone for pressups.

Petal to the metal

We were met with applause by Liz and Chris who handed us spades and forks and assured us that we shouldn't hit any live electrical lines under the flower beds. A short run left us plenty of time to get stuck in and we used every minute of it digging out some well entrenched rose bushes.

We had just enough time for a dab in the dark before running back - with a pit stop for walking lunges of course.
