Sunny July eve yesterday, a welcome break from relentless rain, as the team congregated at PrintHouse. The England game on our minds we were efficient in our pre-run chat, discussing a fluid RWQ, that changed its face depending on who answered. Loosely - "what's been one of your favourite jobs?" Bar work on a boat, dental work at the Para-Olympics, Librarian duties at uni, temp work in Poland, more bar work and finally having the privilege of running the best community running group in the world for 7.5 years.

We hustled down the canal discussing where some of the islands around the mass of England are, why Jersey and Guernsey share similar names, Australian survivor and England football teams style of play.

Boss lady Basia gave us a few leaflets for an activity session they're hosting for kids, we jogged off and dished them out to the locals. Highlights:

  • a lovely lady that gave us three bottles of water "for your troubles"
  • a fella that questioned why Adam was here "Australia is much better, it's shit here"
  • not getting fingers bitten clean off by a chihuahua

We all dashed back in various directions to get home and shout at the telly, and it worked! Enjoy the final on Sunday guys!

Next week we're at Hackney Adventure Playground, always good for the soul, sign up here
