Unfortunately tonight’s task was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, but not to worry there’s always litter to be picked up in the local parks.

So we were off to Tudor Grange Park expecting a lot of litter due to the Solihull music fest that had taken place at the weekend. Some of our members had enjoyed walking their dog in the park whilst their favourite band was on. As we expected, there was a lot of leftover litter so we got straight to work.

As it was John’s first time back since we started the pull-up challenge, he had to give it a go. After saying he wouldn’t be very good at it, he still managed to do 5! Chris then followed with 6 and Fiona did 1 for the first time which is an excellent achievement!

After this little bit of fun it was time to run to Brueton park, for more litter picking and our 4 minute hill session.

Everyone put in a great effort tonight - John showing us his speed leading the way, Chris hot on his tail, shortly followed by Fiona. Not only is running uphill great for your stamina, but it's also great for building leg muscles, which helps with your speed.

After the short run back, it was time for a quick stretch and to come up with tonight’s pun.

See you all next week.
