Firstly, thank you to GoodGym Bromley for making me feel so welcome on leading my first group run whilst Adele is enjoying a wonderful holiday in new York, it was a pleasure!

The news I'd wrote down for this week was Bradley's amazing half marathon at the weekend, but he must be resting as his name had disappeared from the group run page overnight, next time you see him, give him a cheer.

After the name count and a quick warm up, we headed across to GMax Trackstars wondering what tasks they had in store for us this week. It took a little time for me to get my bearings but with enough regulars to guide the way there, we all arrived together.

Tasks for the evening: painting of the doorframes, bagging up the plaster board and filling in screw holes.

The paint for this evenings task had been kindly donated by B&Q and was a variety of shades of white. With 15 minutes to go, all the doorframes had been painted, not wanting to have nothing to do and after a quick chat of what other jobs we could do, we bagged up some plasterboard and Stuart learnt a new skill of filling screw holes. I was pretty impressed with the work you all got done in the last 15 min!

Before we knew it, it was time for us to be heading back to the start point, but there was just about time to complete a quick fitness session on the way back. After a couple of repetitions of squat jumps with high 5's and star jumps, I spotted a wall that would be just perfect for a wall sit, and I couldn't let that opportunity pass.

Once back to the start point, we began to stretch and discuss how many teams we could enter into the Dino Dash in Crystal Palace Park in June.

Adele is back next week for the task at Living Well Foodbank.
