*Tonight's very wet run ended with every one soaked to the skin but laughing as we arrived back at base. *
We set off in dark but dry conditions to run through the town to the Suffolk Law Centre where we were greeted by the team and given directions.
Most of the work was to move furniture and reconfigure office space. Intially things went well but hit a snag when we found it impossible to move two large desks out of one room.
A few valiant tries to twist and turn through the door were unsuccessful and all that was left was to dismantle the desks. Under the direction of Daniela the desks were taken apart moved along the corridor and reconstructed in their new location.....and we didn't even have any parts left over when the desks were rebuilt!
The task took a little longer than anticipated because of the technical hitch but we still managed to get a new workstation area set up as well as moving a number of other items and some hoovering too!
As we stepped outside the rain was pouring down relentlessly. Our determined team set off on the return leg run taking in a few relay intervals in "flood" lit car park. With the rain still lashing we completed a 2.6 mile round trip with everyone promising to stretch at home ............though we couldn't have got any wetter had we completed the usual stretch routine.

We had relatively short run to the Suffolk Law Centre for tonight's task which was moving office furniture between floors and reconfiguring the office space.
On arrival we were greeted by Sophie , Audrey and Paul who had already marked up what need to be moved and the intended location, making it simple and well organised.
It didn't take long for the largest item to be grabbed and moved event though it was a stationery cupboard - thank you for the hilarious pun Keith!
A variety of chairs, desks and smaller items were moved up and down stairs and cupborads refilled once in place. Floors were hoovered and meeting rooms reconfigured - all in a matter of minutes. It was a Goodgym whirlwind.
After a team photo our run back was punctuated with several hill repeats along the route including a couple of subway slopes - what fun !
So our last Group Run and task for January - we didn't quite make the 100 task target (75 in total) but with around 160km remaining and 3 days left, it looks like we will hit the 2500km collective distance target. None of the areas in our division has reached 1000km yet and we are around 9th overall nationally - tremendous work for the January Challenge.
