Ain't no loft that's high enough, ain't no paint that's white enough...

5.7km, 9 runners and two hills across Peckham and Camberwell.

How many marshmallows does it take to power up a hill?

Despite the grey clouds and the ever ominous threat of rain, our lovely crew of runners were out in force to take on some inclines and some jobs for Janet at Salvation Army Camberwell Grove.

After lots of news: (races, missions and socials) we warmed up and got running passed all of the bins that had been put out for Thursday's collection. A steady climb up Chadwick Road took us near our task for next week and then ready to breeze downhill towards the yummy smelling restaurants in Camberwell.

We arrived with Janet sweaty and ready to work. Some set to work to paint and give some tlc to the office where Janet co-ordinates all of the projects for mums, babies and families in the community. The other fashionista focused half set off to sort through donations of baby clothes and to sort out the loft full of various donations. Much discussion was had over if Peppa Pig is actually quite a strange cartoon and a bit scary. The discussion that followed may have been about being vegetarian.

Meat eaters welcome though.

Our painters looked snazzy in their CSI outfits and quickly spruced up the office with a chic magnolia tone. Though we'd have liked to give another coat, it soon was time to clear away and de-robe so that we could get home in time & let Janet lock up. We do always get spoilt when we visit the Salvation Army and tonight, our hill running home was powered by marshmallows! No fat, lots of sugar. Other diets are available

The run home was pretty lovely, quiet streets and a downward straight to finish on. We stretched, we said bye and we look forward to next week.
