Six runners joined us for a very humid evening and a run back to The Courtyard to help tidy the walkway. The first task was to congratulate Michelle on her wedding and look at all the pictures! Once she had told us all the stories of her secret wedding, it was time to get to work!

First up we had to move two big logs which Chris got stuck straight into, while the rest of us got stuck into weeding and digging out what seemed like a small tree (but more like a very stubborn weed) that just didn’t want to budge! Thankfully Meera was able to pull it out, after Fiona had spent half an hour getting no where with it! We swept up all the leaves from the path to reveal the lovely tiles underneath.

As tonight’s run to the task was so long we didn’t have time to do a fitness session. Saying that, the run back to base is still hilly, so it wasn’t an easy ride and everyone had to put in a little bit of extra effort!

Once at base we had a quick stretch to cool down. Next week is a new task where we will be helping out at Trinity Close Residents Group.

See you all next week,

Rob
