Ok so it wasn't a tub, but a very small community centre that needed a deep clean tonight.

We took over the pub this evening as many runners came out of the dark to light up the night, welcome to our new runners Andy and Cherry, and some returning runners as well as our stalwarts. We must be fun if they come back....

Tonight Becky promised us a surprise, instead of running up a massive hill we took a more gentle route to Packmores Community Centre, not quite the Gap but run by the same volunteers.

On arrival, once we found the hidden gem, thanks to Iain for navigating the door lock, we found a pile of cleaning equipment and a list of lovely jobs to do. Dividing into groups, there was a rush for the soft play area, everyone got their marigolds on and started to clean.

Emptying shelves, cleaning potties, mopping the floor, scrubbing the cupboards, sweeping the mess, wiping the tables, and seeing how many people you can fit in a tiny kitchen.

Mel gave us a cracking joke - What's the plumbers favourite tree? Toiletrees!!! - Think she might need to work on her jokes.

We had to have a count down to leave as everyone wanted to leave it spotless. Hopefully we did them proud.

On the return run we had a challenge - the handicap hill sprint. Setting off in intervals of intensity we raced back up the last hill, some brilliant use of arm drive and high knees was seen, and a lot of hardcore effort by our newer runners. We've been working on High knees so this was a great test to see how much we had learnt.

On return to the pub, big thanks to Iain for leading the cool down and Holly for collecting more numbers for the Whatsapp group.

News was shared and some of the group stayed on to carb load, or thats what we're renaming it now.

Till next week - thanks for coming.
