After a Marathon We're Feeling a Litter Pick and Tyred

Prior to setting off tonight there were congratulations to Robin, who was present in spite of/despite having run the Bungay Marathon yesterday and to Kerry who scored a PB at the Bromley 10k on Sunday too

It was a beautiful sunny but chilly evening and we had a really scenic run taking us along the Waterfront, through Holywells to Landseer Park, which was the destination for tonight's task - a litter pick in the woods around the park.

For many us Landseer Park was a revelation - a bit of a hidden Ipswich gem. A huge expanse of grassland bordered by woods with a number of trail paths..

Do you remember when Snickers bars were called Marathon?

We walked the paths picking up any litter and came across treasures such as a huge training shoe, nappies, carpets, loads of bottles and a bicycle tyre, but the discovery of the night was made by Lucy - an original Marathon Bar wrapper - how apt - Not sure Lucy's old enough to remember them for real!

With several bags of rubbish collected we headed back out if the woods for an ascent of Cliff Lane (very steep hill) before turning back into Holywells Park and a short hill interval session, before exiting at the top f the park and enjoying the relaxed downhill pace back to base.
