I think we can all agree it was cold and a bit early for a Sunday, but it was light so we could see all the lovely Goodgym runners faces without a head torch. We also weedy wanted to get stuck in to the task. There was gonna be no backs to the wall today so with a brisk warm up waking up every muscle for running and more. We set off for an easy run, oh but wait...there's a hill!

The cold didn't bother us by the time we got to the top and now we can descend upon our task to get the weeds off the wall.

These weeds had been winking at us for many a Monday nights run but at last we had the tools in place and a magnificent 17 of us to put them in there place as well.

Many hands made light work, we even had time to pat a few dogs, (guest appearance from Shakira). We did as much as we could until we ran out of bags. So we had a quick tidy up and walkers and runners made a speedy return to the warmth of the lovely Wholefoods, and some undercover stretching (those that were there will know what I mean).

We gave Jack and Caroline a cheer on their first GG Richmond run. We synchronised Stravas and had a "standing" elevation We then patted each other on the back for a job well done

Hot chocolate done bring on the 10km tomorrow

Well done everyone on an easy Sunday morning
