11 paint some more at the ideas hub then run to the hills!
those nice people at the ideas hub, the ones who let us use the room for free, put up even more panels for us to paint! how nice of them! We were soon working hard and brought brushes to add to the rollers provided so we could get in to the corners and edges. We top coated some we had painted previously and did the cutting in on some others. Some of the new panels were also given a healthy coat of white paint.
art work display
The panels we are painting are not just to make the hub look good but will be used to display art work from local artists and photographers. It also allows them to open the upper floor so they can use the space to overflow the coffee shop.
The paining done it's off for a run
Once we had run out of paint again we decided to check out the new art work on the underpass at waterhouse lane. The murals include a runner at Parkrun and is on the route! Also on the route is a nice (subjective!) hill so we "ran to the hills" before warming up on the flat and then having a hills relay!
A slight split in distances, left team tactics important, but despite a tactical race a logistics error left the race called as a draw!
A well judged effort by all and we ran back together with a pause under the viaduct before our stretch and debrief.
