The Lambeth Walk!

13 runners ran 5k to help feed the homeless and organise clothing for the Birmingham Mission Care Centre

Tonight it was great to have Annie back with us, after being away for some time with injury, the group have definitely missed her!

We were off to the Brum Mission tonight after missing last months visit, so John and Wendy were especially pleased to see us! Once there the group split in two. One group helping in the kitchen and serving, the other group helping Maureen in the clothing department. We found a rather interesting logo on hoodies provided by a scaffolding company who definitely had a sense of humour! Abi and Aaron where happy to pose for picture with it!

Once we had done I duties at the Mission it was on to some hill training. Six minutes of running up hard and running down hard, in otherwise six minutes of hard graft, or otherwise known as ‘Kenyan hills’. Aaron and Liam led the way, Aaron sporting his golf cap, maybe in honour of Europe’s recent Ryder Cup triumph! George wasn’t far behind, Abi and Nicola worked hard pulling each other along. Garry, Fiona and Rob looked in good form in preparation for the Birmingham Half Marathon and Annie put it some great work in her first session back. Again it was a great workout by everyone. Just as we finished we had a guy who came across to us, seeming very excited to see a GG group! He was only another GG member from Lambeth (hence this weeks pun)! Andy was his name and he took a group selfie with us all which I’m sure will be ‘doing the rounds’ on various GG social media pages!

After all that excitement it was time for a steady run back and it was job done until next week.

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
