After what felt like one of the wettest days in January, the rain thankfully held off for our 15 dedicated runners. Good effort guys!! Luckily Chan came prepared for all eventualities with her umbrella hat and sunglasses just incase.

Firstly, as Sarah was away sunning herself in Thailand, and with Thai food being a very popular take-away choice, what better way to start the evening by getting everyone to think about their favourite take-away dish to get the tummy rumbling.

Quickly taking our minds off food(if only for a moment or two) we warmed up with a quick round of Indian file, running in circles with the person at the back sprinting to the front, hopefully no-one got too dizzy!

Slap dash down trafalgar road - trying not to take too much notice of allllll the take-aways on offer, we arrived at The Greenwich & Bexley Hospice Community Charity shop to be greeted by Jane and Lee. Just a bit of a general tidy up and clothes tagging was needed, so the team split into 3 groups, upstairs, downstairs and tagging. Very efficient and great work by all. Alex's hoovering was on point, what a transformation. Spick and span, almost ready to head back, but not before the essential 'grab your favourite item' shot and a bulk purchase of CDs by Andy.

Another dash straight down Trafalgar road, heading for the Cutty Sark, no one could imagine the treat that was in store for them in the fitness session. Splitting into 4 groups of; squats, tricep dips, step-ups and sprints around the boat, rotating around after the sprinters had completed 2 rounds of the ship. Incredible effort put in by all, and to think Sam was ready to head home after the charity shop and miss out on all that fun (or was it the Greenwich Goodies that kept you sweet?).

Well done everyone, really great input throughout the whole night, but fear not!! Normal business will resume next week as Sarah will be back to fill us in on her adventures, and maybe even her favourite eats. Now who's hungry?? Until next time! *Pun credit goes to Alex
