A proper turn around training, if ever I've seen one ! 2 of the 3 runners were focused on how badly we felt we had done with running or not running since the last training. Mark got us focused and buckled down, chirrupping away about stuff as we ended our way through Mottingham, astounding the local populace with our group speed and agility ( ahem( as we sped though Mark's planned route of street and local common. We resisted Mark's yearning looks at the wooded area, pleading slippery leaves, so we plodded on, I can't emphasise enough the huge difference today made, in terms of the motivation of the group run, as well as the emerging realisation that the process really works 💪.

After the relief and gratitude of covering the run without tripping, falling, or collapsing, two of us went on to scrub signage at the local woods. Hope you agree that our efforts will enable users to access the open space more easily.

The before and after photos ( wrong order, naturally ) show about 10 minutes of actual vigorous, rapid scrubbing, with all cleaning equipment supplied A very satisfying and rewarding task. We'll be back for more, in due course ! Thanks for being the " rabbit " today, Mark, and for setting a fair and relaxed pace , Onwards and upwards 👍
