Yesterday saw us head back to St Clement's Primary School in Boscombe to help Joe paint the school yard fence, and the gang was really looking forward to it!

We were lucky to welcome and meet Pia, it was her first group run after moving to Bournemouth in March and she fitted right in!! Talking to everyone and more than holding her on with a brush and the longer run! Lovely to meet you, hope you come along next week to Slades Farm, we could use your community gardening skills!!

It was great to also have Tom back and thank you Miffy for getting him to come along!

After another muggy and warm run along the overcliff we got to the school on time and Joe was ready for us. He even had mats out for us to be able to kneel comfortably as well as sit, brushes for everyone and even plastic aprons to help protect our clothing! Very thoughtful and much appreciated! We still got loads of paint on us, but that was our fault! And it's non toxic so not a big deal. Laura managed to somehow keep her brand new New Balance trainers spotless throughout!! Impressive. Remember, you get a 20% discount on New Balance gear with GoodGym. Worth looking into.

As you can see from the photos the gang got right to it and made very quick progress. It's an excellent task as it's very therapeutic, and you can chat to everyone around you too.

We had cuddles with Caprice's little puppy waiting for us at Flirt, so we took the quickest route back, shaving a km off...we did get back 5 minutes late for the second week in a row....sorry Grace hahhahaha

We had a few beers at Flirt and lots of puppy cuddles and all went home feeing better for it! Well done everyone. Slightly longer run next week, but the weather looks amazing. Slades Community garden has suffered some vandalism so they need our help. The more of you signed up the better!

Have a great week!
