OH, WHAT A NIGHT AND WE HAVE LIGHT..whoop!!
A CHANGE OF PLAN TO THE ORIGINAL TASK
However a wonderful 4 k run in the light along the riverbank in Bath this evening for a spot of PLOGGING for 17 runners.
PLOGGERS AWAY
A warm up and headcount with a scone theme, jam or cream first?? Poor Mary had a hard life growing up so it was marg and jam but I’ll stick to jam first. A warning to stay safe and away from the water’s edge before heading along the riverside to Churchill bridge and the south side to the Quays and beyond to collect as much litter as possible.
HI HO…A PLOGGING WE GO
Gloves and litter pickers at the ready and they’re off along a stretch of the riverbank to see just how much litter we can collect in 40 minutes, to save our waterways and oceans from the increasing amount of plastics that are destroying our oceans.
A LOTTA BOTTLE
In fact we collected so many empty bottles topped with some unusual finds from a toothbrush charger to a swanky trainer but the prize goes to the guitar body ... Ta Da!!
WE ARE THE WASTE WARRIORS
10 bags later and a short PLOG back with a bit of weight lifting from the team just to prove we take the gym outdoors.
Thanks Emma for back marking and Joe for another fabulous pun... literally.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE

I started running at 34 & not looked back running from 5k to Ultra. I enjoy seeing people achieve their goals.
