Tonight was ‘Karin’s task’. Yep she had organised a suit drive at her place of work. The task was to collect the donations and take them to Suited for Success. On arrival the whole group were shocked at the amazing amount of donations. We collected as many as we could then ‘humped’ them to Suited For Success, this was a fitness session in itself as everyone’s arms were ‘killing’ as Rob described on arrival at our destination.

We were warmly received by Patricia and Tomas who were very happy to see all the donations. Plenty of pictures were taken and then we were ready to head on our way once again.

Rob led the way taking us through Ladywood and back to Brindley Place. We then followed the canal back to St Paul’s Square. Next Liam took up the reins taking us a longer way back via the Jewellery Quarter museum, just to get a bit more work into those legs. We arrived at 1000 Trades, having ran and walked with the donations near enough 6k. Oh and a special mention goes to Laura this week, who was doing her 100th group run, everyone give her a cheer :-)

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
