This week 12 wonderful GG-ers ran 5km in the freezing cold to paint a pirate ship for local kids improving their literacy skills!
The team braved the frosty evening, guarding each other along the way from the odd ice patch on route.
Dave and Cathy helped out by leading the way and back marking the group, allowing me to scoot amongst the pack and talk to more people.
We climbed a few flights of stairs to get to Haringey Pirates, at the top, and met Jude. We crawled aboard and were given our orders: paint the ceiling, which ended up sort of looking like the sea above our magic ship, flip-turned upside down.
As always, the team got LOADS done in barely any time at all.
Everybody loved the ship so much though that it took 10 minutes to make it back to land, which meant the fitness sesh would have to be on route
We ran through a few running drills along the way, with a good mix of pace, and a 200m sprint finish back to base
We then finished up with stretches and high fives, before a small group went off for a community mission to prepare the flyers for Haringey Has Pride that we will be delivering to local houses on an upcoming group run!
