We welcomed a new runner along this week.
Whoop, hola and cheer for
NICK WEBSTER!
We were back off to Heeley People's Park last night to see FANTASTIC FRANK & RADIANT ROB and to continue to help them with the upkeep of the fantastic community owned and run space that benefits all around it as well as visitors and passers through.
Dig me a winner!
For starters we had a crack team of 6 shovelers that got straight to task with ROB digging trenches at the side of the paths to ensure the paths will remain usable and un-damaged once the winter wetness comes down. With nothing but head torches to light the way, it was spadey business...
Mulch a-do about nothing
The rest of the crew got onto the MONSTER MULCH which really was monstrous with a huge pile that needed to be collected into buckets, moved to various areas and then spread. AMAZING ANNIE & SUPER STEVE were on hand to whittle out any inefficiencies and get the chain going as smooth and efficient as poss!
The park was worse than the bite - James Smith
In no time at all, huge progress could be seen in the park.
We downed tools and took advantage of the street lit hill to get some team hill sprints in. In teams of 5 we sprinted up a small will and recovered on the way down, getting a good 5 reps in!
Until next time, happy running :)
