**>Today we broke our Group Run distance record....sorry if you missed it!

11km of total goodness!

We welcomed Sarah to her first ever group run! And she did amazingly well! Her previous best distance was 10km so we are glad to have been part of her record breaking feat!! Well done Sarah! Look forward to seeing you next week so you can see how well Slades Farm has developed since you helped set it up! And it will definitely be a shorter distance...unless we get lost! HAhAHAHAHHAa

This week we went back to help out at Faithworks a charity helping people in crisis and isolation. Totally up our street! Great people who have already housed 49 people this year alone!

They needed to have a spring clean at their office and we were more than happy to help. After a bit of delay in getting the keys the gang managed to quickly zoom through the list of things that needed doing. The lovely note and reward of biscuits was enough to keep us motivated!

Because of the delay we only had 15mins to do everything on the list....well we did manage all of it but didn't have a mop...so the mop let us down...we'll be sending it a letter of complaint!

The way back was a bit of a challenge as we had a strong wind against us...one of the down sides of running along the prom...beautiful views and sounds and fresh air...but very strong fresh air!

We made it back in one piece, Andrea leading the way...looking in great shape for her 10km race this Sunday at the bay Run in Bournemouth!

Lots of other runners too so we hope you have e agreat time and beat some PBs!!!

See you all next week for some gardening!!!
