Good Ditch, bad jokes

7 runners headed the 3.5k back to the Broomfield allotments to complete the ditch digging.

On another warm sunny night 7 runners including newbie Richard set off on one of our longer runs to Broomfield allotments to complete the ditch we began 2 weeks ago.

After a short warm up including our exercise of the week new feature which may continue Mountain climbers which were enjoyed by all, we set off on our run. this scenic route past the Cathedral, the University and alongside the river we arrived at the allotments raring to go. Tim was there to meet us and set out the task, which all of the team opted to get stuck in to the digging with great effect. Tim also entertained us with some jokes, although some of the team have suggested they may be busy should he chose to perform a stand up set. We maintained high spirits and worked hard to complete the task bang on time, celebrating with cold lemon squash! One the way back we added some exercises instead of adding more kilometers, and completed sets of Mountain climbers, press ups, squats and a plank, weaved into the run home. Some stretches completed the session and we all look forward to next weeks session. hope to see you there!
