Such a beautiful evening last night for our committed runners and we all felt keen to run a good distance after last week's shorter run.

Thankfully we'd been asked this week to play postie and deliver flyers. Macmillan Cancer Support are partnering with BH Live to put on free, regular health walks in Boscombe. The aim is to get everyone just a little more active, get their hearts pumping so they can experience the health benefits of getting active.

At GoodGym we have already been converted so we were happy to promote this new initiative.

As leader I was chastised as we headed off, I chose the most hilly route into town - but the team smashed it! We snaked our way through the residential streets, only getting a bit lost once (my fault!).

Midway through the run we passed through Kings Park, had a comfort stop/ bench press stop depending on bladder capacity! We were briefly heckled at, than ran on, delivering the last of the flyers before snaking our way home.

We took the least direct route so we could clock up the km. Pace picked up as we hit the prom and dashed back to HQ for a warm down and chat.

Big shout out to Daryl who completed his run leader course with GoodGym this week!!!

See you all IN THE DAYLIGHT next week!
