Dance of the Sugar-Plum-(Hall) fairies

13 runners ran across Colchester town on a beautiful late summers evening to help out the residents of Plum Hall with their weedy gardens.

We met at Leisure World where Tav shared news of upcoming milestones and recent runs including a half marathon PB for Hannah! There are also plenty of missions coming up, so check out the Goodgym webiste and get signed up! We jogged into the park where we warmed up with a modified version of the knee game... competitors now also have to hold hands in order to prevent them from running away from each other whilst trying to tap each others' knees!

Up through town, past Pam's house, and through Abbey Fields we reached Plum Hall, a Colchester Borough Homes site. We were pleased to meet Louise there who joined us for our good deed of the evening. We were set to task weeding the grounds and the gardens of some of the residents. One of the residents is currently in hospital and knowing that she had been keen to have her garden weeded, we set to work clearing it for her for a welcome home surprise.

Once we had gathered up our bags of Garden Waste we headed across to Abbey Fields to join Gabs and his bootcampers where we played a game of tag. The blue team were clear winners, although Andy held on incredibly well as the final red team member ducking and dodging away from the team of blues. We ran back to our meeting place and wished each other well for the week ahead.
