Tonight's task was a return to delivering flyers on behalf of Age UK, promoting their recently open shop on Prince of Wales Drive.

We earmarked a number of Roads in the Stoke Park area which gave us a mile to run before some frenzied leafleting got underway. With a smaller number of runners and a fairly compact area to cover we managed to be a little more organised in our delivery this time than our previous task for Age UK. In fact tonight I pretty confident none of the houses we visited would have received two leaflets!

With this better organisatiion and keeping the group mainly together we covered the whole area in a reasonably quick time finishing at the top of the hill on Belstead Road, which provided a lovely down hill run back towards the Waterfront.

We took a slight detour to enable a short "fartlek" session using lamp posts as markers for efforts and recovery before one last long effort segment along the river.

Highlight of the night was receiving a "Congratulations" card from all the team to celebrate my completion of the Ironman Triathlon in Barcelona last Sunday - Thank you so much - had I mentioned I was doing an Ironman ?

Apologies for the lack of pictures tonight - although a very worthwhile task, posting flyers in the dark doesn't present many photo opportunities! However we did get a group shot back at the ? with my card!

Next week we'll be heading back to the Castle Hill Community centre for a longer run and some painting - find out more and sign up HERE
