6 ran and walked to clear litter from Chelmsford's streets

Only one place to start - Joe's stunning, sensational, and in no way ridiculous socks. David can't get them out of his head.

We managed to collect three rather heavy bags of litter on around a 500 metre stretch, and with the rain getting heavier, we decided to stop stop collecting and head back. However, we could only start running back once we'd got a photo of Joe outside a shop dedicated to him, and of course the group with the rubbish sacks - a few extra seconds stood in the rain well spent!

I like a round route and a round 5km, so we ran a slightly different way back to add to our January challenge distance. Big thanks to Fay for walking back with the litter pickers so we didn't have to run with them!

There's a task at Barrow Farm on Sunday, and we're at Okeley Care Home next Wednesday.

See you all soon,

Laurie
