Firstly, a big welcome to newcomers Rachel and Adam. Lovely to meet you both tonight and we hope to see you again soon.
Welcome back to Elly who's been doing lots of crazy long distance races since we saw her last and good to see Sophie and Luke again - hope your colds are better soon!
Tonight we had an indoor task at St Swithuns. Chris the caretaker had done loads of prep for us and had paintbrushes, rollers, pots, trays and all important floor coverings ready and waiting for us. Plus some much needed squash!
We set to work painting the hallway and a large classroom with the classic colour magnolia. Lots of good team work - cutting in by some, rolling & filling in by others, tall people doing the high bits and a couple of people even braving the ladder to reach the very edges. Laura was very excited to find a world map (spot the geographer). Special mention to Judy for painting herself the most out of the whole group - hopefully it's going to wash out of that nice new GG T-shirt!
Everyone seems to be getting fitter and we are getting to and from tasks quicker now so we had a chance for some traffic light lunges - well done to Adam for his enthusiastic jump lunges.
We've got lots coming up in the next week or so, hope to see you there:
Beach clean community mission on Saturday
Our usual Wednesday group run for #runandtalk week PLUS
Additional #runandtalk session on Thursday from the Coffee Cup at Eastney - a little earlier so we have time to enjoy a drink afterwards
We also have the Great South Run social **AND ** I am planning a bit of a Great British Bake Off / halloween theme for 31 October... watch this space!
Happy Running! Katie
