It was a tad wet and cold for this run, which was lucky as it was really really REALLY short.

We met up at Vivo, a slightly smaller group than usual due to the temperature and the rain, and headed off to Quakers Gardens where we met up with Hannah from Incredible Edible.

We'd helped at the garden before, much earlier in the year and it was amazing to see how it had transformed from a frankly dodgy little park in to a much nicer green space with a lot of mint growing in it.

Our tasks were to weed a big patch of garden, shift a load of soil to go on to the area we'd weeded, wheel the weeds away, and other weed related stuff. As there was lots to do, and it had taken us only a short while to run to the garden, we stayed for a long time and got loads and loads done - the initial flower bed was blitzed so we moved so other parts of the garden.

Once completed, we ran off, and due to the cold and the close proximity of our base camp, the pace went quickly from a gentle jog to an almost flat out sprint as we got in to Queen Square. It was decided that it was too cold for lunges, so we wrapped up a little early - whilst there had not been a huge amount of running, the work we got done was phenomenal!

Great work, everyone! P.S Apologies for the lack of photos - they're all terrible and blurry, plus my iPhone is refusing to sync with my PC at the moment.
