Painting the town and the...floors

Bournemouth Report written by Bournemouth runner

This evening we ran to Relate Bournemouth who's services include relationship counseling for individual couples, families, children & young people.They also offer Mediation for couples and families as well as psychosexual therapy. It was the first time visiting them and we were super excited to make new friends but also paint....we love to paint!

We welcomed some lovely new faces this evening. Nicola,who was on her second group run, has been spreading the word and brought along Aoife to give us a try. She also convinced Lea to join up and become a member! Great to have you ladies along, you did a fantastic job and got stuck in but also chatted to everyone else in the group! Our type of people!

It was also lovely to have Fernanda and Alba along for their first group run...we are building quite an international group! Welcome, we hope you enjoyed it and will be back next week!

We must have done a decent job last week as we didn't scare Catherine or Pawel off, who both came back for their second group run! Well done you two and well done team on being so welcoming to new faces!!

We also welcomed back our favourite photographer Le who due to some injuries wasn't able to run with us for over three months!!! So happy to have you back!

Not knowing how big the therapy room was that we were painting, we didn't want to hang around too long so set off pretty soon, and jog as our warm up. Their offices were around 2.4km away so it was a nice and short run....with a fairly long and steady climb to start with. Soon the layers came off as it was a very warm evening! We arrived sweating more than we should have been...only to be greeted by Claire who pointed out that boiler was broken and the radiators were on full blast!!!

**Who needs Hot Yoga when you can Hot Paint!

We were first tasked with sanding down the walls a little to prep the surface for the paint, but there were only 3 sanding blocks to start with so the other started with filling the trays with paint and using masking tape to tape off sockets and skirting boards etc.

It was quite amazing how 14 of us managed to move around such a small area without any accidents or major mishaps! Moving furniture, switching positions and roles, communicating on what needed doing, helping each other out...

dropping driving licenses in paint trays..

We managed to finish the whole room just in time and they were super happy with the job done. Pretty sure that is the best paint job we have ever done! Well done all of you, you guys are amazing. Hope you manage to get all the paint out of you trainers, leggings, shorts and tops....and have a great night's sleep dreaming of happy things from all the good you did this evening!

Good luck to Grace, Nicola and Aoife who are running the Half Marathon at the Bournemouth Marathon festival this Sunday. I hope it goes well. Stay positive and remember that you are stronger than you think!

See you all next week as we head to Boscombe for a slightly longer run and a visit to the Foodbank to sort through some donations! Sign up here
