Mikaela is in the exclusive 50 good deeds club - Alistair broke past 10 good deeds. And the moon came out to celebrate with us! One small good deed for Colchester, one giant leap for the Benson siblings!

I also heard a rumour that Dan is in the top 5 of the Pride of Essex Awards in his category. Wow. https://www.prideofessexawards.org.uk/

OK...here is what happened: We all met at The Gym as Dan, Alistair and Mikaela enjoyed running down Ipswich road but did not enjoy running up the Hill to town! For us we parked at Leisure World with all the litter picking equipment (note that it took longer to drive to Leisure World than run...Colchester that is not good enough - get out your car, put a waterproof on a walk. Stuart did not notice us but he over took us 3 times on foot on North Station Road) and ran up to The Gym. We shared the news of Vanessa's Cambridge half Marathon success and the aforementioned achievements then set off past the green spooky Castle to Leisure World. We found plenty of litter at the Skate Park and around the cricket pitch - as usual close to the empty bins! McDonald's rubbish galore and energy drinks in bushes. After we collect two bags of rubbish we did some relay sprints that involved 3 shuttle runs whilst a team mate did squats, reverse lunges and mountain climbers.

A jolly lovely night I would say....
