It looked like it might hold off for us again, and allow us another dry group run.....but then with 30minutes to go it started to drizzle....30 minutes later and we still have 14 lovely people ready to come together, go for a run and help their community! Legends!!

We welcomed Caroline to her first group who did great and didn't break into a sweat considering she's used to going waaaaaaay longer distances than our 8km from tonight. Hope you still had a great time and see you soon! Give her a cheer please team!

Nicola invited along Kristina to her first group run and wasn't put off by the soggy conditions. Thank you for joining in and helping out, hope you had a good time! Hope to see you guys and Aoife for the rock climbing on Sunday. Anyone else interested please get in touch.

Awesome to also welcome back John, we'll have you anytime you're free! I know you're busy Wednesdays already!

After a very refreshing 4km run there, Alex let us in out of the rain and had some different tasks for us this week. Nicola, Caroline, Kristina and Aoife started woroking on food parcels that were going out the next day. A parcel that is supposed to help a family with food for three days, so they had to make sure the right ingredients were in each. They manged to complete 8 of them in 30 minutes! That's awesome work!

Sean, Chris and Daniela started moving fridges and cold storage units to another part of the warehouse to make space for all the sorted crates of beans, fish, soup etc.The rest of the gang did the usual task of going through donations. Checking sell by dates and sorting them in the corresponding boxes.

35 minutes after arriving and after a flurry of activity the team got together for a team photo....adjusted their layers...gathered at the entrance and set off backt o Flirt...through the rain. But by now it was something we had accepted, and we were grateful it wasn't a cold night!

Next week after our group run we are looking to go out to dinner at a vegan restaurant right next to our finish location in the Triangle. Please get in touch if you can join us so we know how may to book the table for!

Well done all of you for coming out despite the rain. Hope you feel great about yourself!

See you soon!
