This evening we ran between 8 and 10km to Thornton Heath Rec to help in the Community Garden

An odd run tonight as our task master wasn’t at the Community Garden once we arrived however we were met by the lovely Hannah who was there to photograph and interview us as part of a promotional video for the launch of the NHS (Natural Health Service). So once we’d caught our breath after our long run to the Rec we posed and preened for the camera. Not having a task did mean that we had a little more time for a fitness session so we had a time trial around the park – results will be sent out shortly – and also had a game of Heads and Tails led by Dom.

More new runners tonight so a big GoodGym Croydon welcome to Ciaran, Heather and Ros and we really hope to see you again soon

With a larger group again we split into two groups of those wishing to push themselves a bit more in terms of speed and distance and another group happier to run at a chatty pace! Thanks to Dom and Rachel for managing the first group and Amber and Alicia for leading the second

With it being the last Tuesday of the month we headed off to Boxpark for our social and said a fond farewell to Rachel who has been with us since the beginning but is leaving us for pastures new in Nottingham. We will all miss you!

Next Tuesday’s run will be heading to the Croydon Food Bank to help in the garden and the storage area.

There are also 5 Starter sessions coming up soon in September - 2 have already been posted on the website.
