Huge well done to Ricky an original, a run leader, a grafter and party animal for hitting his 100th good deed tonight!
Ricky was hitting it hard with the sessions till Covid hit then he ‘went off the rocks’ for a while before coming back last year and this year for session after session - 100 was his for the taking tonight!
So I could hit you with a tonne of puns on a century but coming up with them is not a breeze anymore!
With the backlash of Storm Isha still blowing her way around we made sure we wore all the correct layers tonight including thunderwear
In tonight’s session I wanted the team to get in a 5km run or walk. Well done to Sandy for putting her head down and getting on with it.
She was definitely Gone with the ‘wind’
Peter and Mehdi also made great progress with their 3 laps of the park whilst running Ricky kept going till his Duracell batteries died down at 7km in!
Although it was Monday, it felt like a Windsday as we tried to tie the black bags into the litter picker rings. Having managed to secure the bags before they flew away, we got to work!
Nappies, penalty charges and a bike helmet were the pick of the night alongside the usual cans, take away containers and wet wipes!!!!
We cleared the back car park of Salt hill in quick time tonight with a haul of 4 full bags!
Our hands were blew by the time we finished.
Great session tonight (with a good run session bagged for the January challenge).
