Cruisin' over to CRUSE
Sunday 28th January 2018
Written by Tom Mutton
We welcomed THREE new runners to our January starter session, please woop, hola and SUPPORT:
After finishing a FANTASTIC task with FREINDS OF SHEAF VALLEY PARK (FOSVP) in Norfolk Park we ran back to base at The Showroom Cinema to meet with some additional troops for the second task of Sundays double header.
We headed up through town on a busy Sunday and were warmly greeted by COURTEOUS KEVIN who was waiting at the door to lead us up the stairs to the second floor where we would step up to the task....
After a great brief from KIND KIRSTY we learned more about CRUSE and the fantastic work their volunteer base does with people facing bereavement. The task was to help spruse up the office and counseling rooms with a bit of cleaning and some fresh coats of mint and yellow paint to bring some colour into the offices.
We split into teams with some cleaning and some painting and fueled by biscuits and banter we smashed the task making the place look spotless - a mint job!
Once we'd finished the painting and th cookies we headed back outside and split the run back to base up with some:
- Stair sets
- Sprints
- Bump Jumps
- Rectangular sprint circuits
- Tri Dips
Once we returned we stretched off and headed inside for a spot of lunch and chatter.
Great work everyone!
