Happy New Year Everyone!

First one back and its a new location to start off the year with!

The mission tonight was also to talk about our individual plans for 2020 - We all know we don't need to be anyone new or change, as we are fabulous just the way we are - but a new SMART goal is a great way to keep improving!

Goals and targets tonight inc improving parkruns, 'upping' distance(half mara for Robert), running a set mileage (2020km for Nicola or just loosing that bit of extra weight!

It was amazing that finally Sarah managed to join us! She has had Goodgym on the rador for months so finally she was here for a run - great to have you along Sarah!

It was onto the Ashley Road for tonights task and a quick request to avoid North Road - The slow, gentle incline that can be a little um...breathy! Well its the first one back so this was accepted and instead a run through Ashley Cross.

St John's Church has a community choir that practices on a Tuesday evening and they were on their first rehearsal back ready for a performance on 22nd February in Wimborne so we had a little listen - pretty cool songs actually! (Don't forget we can always offer to do Flyers for local groups like this if it helps!)

We met Loeke just inside the door and she showed us where the cleaning items were and even that we could have a cuppa if we wanted! As there was so many of us tonight, it is also New Year so why not have a cuppa - Hilary and Patricia nominated themselves as the vertically challenged to do the brews whilst the others got cleaning to the higher heights!

We are pretty impressed with how clean the church is actually - Elizabeth took a look round for other potential tasks, cleaning wise or even leaves, gardening for future and it is all looking well looked after! We will of course offer our services for anything in future if needed. We did all the entrance windows, found some signs to clean and the outside pains of glass where reachable.

20 mins later, we could all enjoy a quick drink (and typically a couple of our friendly lot found some singers to have a little natter to!) before hitting the road again.

Return leg was just the direct route back for tonight - Don't worry folks, there will be some good chances to work on distance and pace in coming weeks!
