We saw the first Tuesday of September in with a run to Stockport's new Viaduct Park on top of the Interchange.

We each had turn at testing out the mini trampoline (Juno the dog watched eagerly from the side) before running up the A6 for another glimpse at the Thompson Bridge mural and back to our starting point.

5.6km complete 💪

❤️ It's been an emotional day - even the cake is in tiers! 😂

💪 Four years ago, in Lockdown, I bagged the role of Area Activator for @goodgymstockport

🥰 Little did I know that what started as a dream job, would turn into me also meeting the best bunch of friends there is! You are all ACE!

🏃‍♀️200 Tuesday evenings spent, come rain, shine or snow (mainly rain!) leading group runs, volunteering our time in the community and having the most laughs and fun times!

🥳 A rainy walk and cake in the carpark of @lifeleisureuk was the perfect send off! Thanks guys! 😘

Shout out to Hannah for the most delicious cake that was ever made!

We were kindly invited back to Stockport's newly opened Ideas Café, What If? after we first visited the space a few weeks ago.

Sian, Ben and Laura got to work painting the railings outside a lovely shade of red, sporting ghostbuster costumes! When the rain unexpectedly came, we dashed inside and used our excess wet paint on wooden panels to be used as signs.

Meanwhile, Bee, Hannah and Meera joined three lovely ladies from Grit Studios to help organise their new share shop of craft items - the colour coordination was very pleasing! They then added bright pink labels and the naming of categories led to intense discussion!

Once again, it was an uphill struggle back to the start, with plenty of walking breaks!

A lovely social run, starting at Life Leisure Avondale, heading downhill to the River Mersey, a lap of the Burnage parkrun course before heading back to our starting place. A great opportunity to catch-up with each other and enjoy some evening sun! Thank you for joining me 😊

The wonderful folk at The Grit studios are part of a new collaboration - creating a community centre and talk shop in Edgeley and needed some help to transform the building so it was fit for purpose.

We scraped ans cleaned, swept and chatted.

We ran and undulating run to the venue, followed by an uphill struggle back!
