After deciding to mix it up with a little run / walk down to the Synagogue because of the heat, and picking up a bonus Katie L along the way, Barbara set us straight to work trimming back the sycamore growing in the flower beds. The saplings were growing from the stumps of previously felled trees, so we weren't able to fully uproot them, but we made a good effort. Barbara kept us hydrated with some orange squash, and Andy's plums (oi oi) provided a refreshing snack.

Getting out of the door for a 0700 start on a Sunday takes some serious dedication, but Dave and I brought the early morning energy to Southsea for today's Sunday Shuffle, and all before the heat kicked in!

We hit the stunning paths at Southsea Common, clocking 3.25 miles at a steady 10:20 /mile pace, before stopping off for a morning coffee at the Coffee Cup.

What a perfect start to a Sunday Morning on this glorious bank holiday weekend.
