What can I put in your lift?

Tonight's long run was nailed by our intrepid runners. 8kms out and back almost to Elephant & Castle felt like a lovely achievement in all in the mid-week blur.

This time, we met Rob, the volunteer co-ordinator for Cool Tan Arts which is a charity for arts and mental health. He told us a little bit about the work they do, showed us some amazing art and then led us to their store cupboard. We vomited audio visual equipment all over their hall, emptied out archive boxes and used a lift reminiscent of a horror movie to dispose of floppy discs and broken musical instruments. It always seems like we'll not finish the task and then somehow we pull it off. With a minute to spare and time to eat some of the fruit which Rob had cut up for us. The discussion then turned to the best colour jelly baby and nearly got ugly (It's green, clearly) and then we got our legs and minds prepped to people dodge our way back to Peckham. A few of the more competitive attendees had sprint races on the quiet streets and our first-timer, Andy, clearly has some extra energy and pace to burn. We've put him up for the Man Vs Horse Race and he likes a challenge.

As ever, we finished our run with a stretch and discussion over which pub is the best pub to have our first GG Southwark social. Front runners are The Rye or the Victoria Inn. Suggestions please for Wednesday 16th March after the run!

See you next week for some outdoor fun at Lettsom Gardens. We'll be shovelling & digging some holes after a much shorter run. Hill sprints at the end, optional!
