9 runners joined tonight to run a total of 10km, starting from the usual start location of lifeleisure grandcetral at 6.30pm.

We set of at a slow gradual pace, with it being a longer run than usual we didn't want to push our limits, however that is always a option! It was perfect weather for a longer run, fresh with a teeny bit of rain, bang on 7pm as predicted by the resident weather man Simon.

Once we reached our destination of St Elizabeths we were handed mops, brooms and a bunch of other cleaning bits to set to our tasks. We cleaned the pews, swept, dusted and did a general clean, and the we got competitive with a mop off.........

St Elizabeths is a fabulous community hub with plenty going on, they hold weddings, community fairs, baby and toddler groups, exercise classes, choir practice, soul nights, just to name a few!!! So its a amazing space that gets used constantly and so our help was greatly needed.

As we cleaned and did our thing, the resident soul and choir singer was rehearsing, and she sounded AMAMZING! what a joy.

In case your wondering, Team B won the Mop off!!! well done guys, well done to you all, as ever you were fabulous.

It was great having Debs back from her 5th holiday of the year, its been strange without you. A few were missing due to injuries, sorry to hear this, rest up guys and look after yourselves.

Lastly, have a brilliant Parkrun takeover on sat, I'm really annoyed that i have managed to double book and so wont be able to come along, please take lots of photographs, have fun and mostly enjoy the breakfast afterwards........

Happy running folks, until next week, Lisa x x x
