This time we came prepared! Extra layers, more friends....and Neil even wore running tights! Flyer drops will never be the same and they will always be compared to this one!

Abi brought along some lovely friends to help us turbo through the flyer drop and they were brilliant! It was great to meet Caroline, Phoebe, Ryan and Kelvin and also nice to see Maria again. We really hope you guys come back again!

It was also great to have Lee come and join in on his first group run, and he really held his own. Although he is more of a cyclist he also found out he was a great runner too! Great effort! Hope to see you next week!

We ran to Boscombe taking over the promenade and enjoyed the sounds of the waves and catching up with those we hadn't seen recently. Getting to Bournemouth pier was only part of the challenge as when we got there we had to still make it up the steep climb to where we were starting the drop....it was a great push and everyone managed to do it without walking. Very impressive!

We split into two groups and tackled the roads and met up at the end of each and regrouped to another area. It was perfectly synchronised and it really helped that there wasn't a horrible chilly wind tonight....and I'm not sure if it was just me but there were a lot less letter boxes with those difficult draught protectors! Yessssss!!

We managed to drop over 500 flyers and when we ran out of them we decided to head back to our start point and on our way back we did a big Indian file to push ourselves a little.

The team were great and we really hope Abi's great drawing event is a huge success and the children in the area have a great time.

Well done everyone....next week's run lands on Valentines day! Make sure you come along as we'll be indoors and back for 8pm!
