This week's group run was to help spread the word for the Walk the Wards fundraiser for our Hospitals. A great event that we hope gets a lot of sign ups.
Daryl, Sarah and I met up at the top of St Leonard's road in Charminster where we had decided to start from.
Daryl ran in from Winton and Sarah ran, biked and ran to meet us from Branksome. I ran out of time so had to settle for cycling to the meeting spot from Boscombe.
With around 200 flyers Daryl and I set off at a blistering pace weaving in and out of driveways. Sarah then joined us and we changed our approach a little to take both sides of a road at the same time.
Each time we crossed we had a little chat and we got through the flyers pretty quickly in the end. There's lots of dangerous and non flyer friendly letter boxes out there...impossible to get a letter in!! I'm glad I'm not a postman!!
With out hands empty we jogged back to our meeting spot to collect my bike and say out goodbyes.
Sarah and Daryl are running at the Cranborne Races this Sunday so send them a cheer and if you're there too, keep an eye our for them and good luck to you all!!
Hope to see you all next week!!
