Adam, Anne, James, Kirsty and Wayne met at the WWF car park and ran/rode along the canal to Brockhill Care Home where Holly joined them.  

The manager at Brockhill Care Home was surprised to see us, but a tray of glasses and a jug of fresh water were waiting on a patio table. Wayne, who cycled from his own home, magically produced enough treats to have a garden party! Thank you, Wayne! I wonder how you guessed it was exactly what we needed after a run in this hot summer weather…  

Enthusiastically we chose the tools from the shed and started with sweeping most of the garden paths -they were covered with dead leaves and weeds. When this was done, we sorted two of the private gardens. One of the ladies expressed her gratitude and gave Holly some recommendations on what to do. The other lady, although thankful, was worried we were taking all her flowers away, but we reassured her promptly. Finally, we helped Holly who had been watering the plants.  

Wayne led the 3K run back to the town centre. Adam and James raced behind the bike while Kirsty and Anne encouraged each other and were delighted to feel a breeze along the canal.  

This Thursday

On Thursday, you might like to join the No Sweat Running group for a little run? They meet at 6:30 in front of Araceli’s. Otherwise, some of us will take part in parkrun on Saturday in Woking Park. Another option is to help at junior parkrun on Sunday at 9:00. You will be very welcome by this week run director: our very own James!  

Next Group Run

We are all looking to see you next Wednesday when we will help at the food bank.   Happy running to everyone!
