5 runners set off from our** BRAND NEW LOCATION! ** meeting at 6.15pm, setting off running at 6.30pm. Last nights run was the longest we have done for a while, we ran a total of 10km, but what a perfect evening for it. Setting from Stockports Historical market PRODUCE HALL we were running through Stockport, via Reddish to get to a area called poets corner in North Reddish. Our task was to promote and leaflet drop for the charity Re;Dish, they have a charity shop based in the heart of Reddish, this is the base for lots of great community projects and aim to help may local people. I met the lovely Gemma from Re;Dish who works promotes and helps organise various events that helps the community come together. The particular event we were promoting was a benefits information and advice day on Friday 8th November 1-3pm at the Pavilion in North Reddish park, if your interested or know someone who is to you can book a place by contacting Re;Dish on 07498996634.
Once we got to our location we tag teamed our way through all the streets and houses, it was the perfect evening for a long run, the leaves all falling and there was a lovely calm mood to the night, and lots of chatter and putting the world to rights, one question was 'what law would you enforce' MMmmmmm something to think about.
The run back was lovely, a really nice calm pace and we even ran through Penny lane.
Massive shout out to Hannah for pacing at the Preston 10K on Sunday, fab job, and well done to Tony for completing the York Marathon even with a calf injury.
Don't forget that next week and all the weeks after we will now be meeting at the PRODUCE HALL, its a much more social space so we can have a get together now if we so wish, and Im sure people will wish......
Have a great wk end running
