Our first run of 2018

Four awesome runners came out to start the year off with firtastic task. We were helping move Christmas trees that had been dumped on the pavement to the council collection points. The council are doing a street collection for houses in the borough, but some still get discarded in random places.

A bit keen

Due to it only being the 2nd January, not many trees had been put out yet. We managed to relocated a grand total of 9 trees to the drop-off points at Normand Park and Fulham Palace Cemetery Road. At the second drop-off, inspired by The World's Strongest Man Competition, we did some squat presses with the trees (see the photos that looks like we're hiding behind the trees).

Then we were just setting off again to pick up a some more trees around the area, but the heavens decided to open so we headed back to base. Stopping under the underpass to do some stretch exercises and running form drills before doing some stretches to finish.

Thanks to George for the awesome double punnage for this week's run report. And warm welcome to Barbara on her first run. Give them both a cheer!
