A very warm welcome to Lewisham Margarete, we hope to see you again soon! Thanks to Amber for leading our walking group this evening, and to Sarah for backmarking.
Well done to everyone who made it out in Storm Dennis for some soggy running this weekend! Thankfully the weather was significantly drier this evening, but we still needed a mexercise wave of squats, lunges, jumping jacks, high knees and heel flicks to warm up.
We set off for the relatively short run round the corner to St Christopher's Hospice shop. The shop manager Sara had plenty of tasks (as well as plenty of snacks!) lined up for us to tackle this evening, including:
- Hanging up sorted clothes in the back
- Tidying up the shop floor, to some very exacting standards
- Sorting the scarves into colour and length order
- Dressing the clothes model ready for spring (who wore it better... the shop model or Caireen?)
- A bit of Top Gun action adding blank labels to the newly hung clothes, ready for pricing
- And did I mention the snacks??
We managed to get through everything that was lined up for us, which meant only one thing... We had time for a time trial! I was very impressed with the effort everyone put in, and enjoyed a thrilling sprint finish with Nick just pipping Adam to the post!
"I feel the need ..." "... the need for speed!"
Thanks everyone for a fun task! Keep an eye out on the upcoming community mission listings for some weekend fun with Caireen at the lovely Wildcat Wilderness, one of GoodGym Lewisham's perennial favourites.
Have a fantastic week everyone, and happy running!
