A change of task, and a hot hot run.

son

Michael had decided the most important thing tonight was care in the heat..

They had already made their way to the gardens to drop of a bag of goodies, including the most important iced water and squash.

To Town

Croeso Holly on their first goodgym session and welcome back to Jonathan, now officially a regular and not just here to keep their streak!

5 running to the task and two meeting us there, 3km in the heat felt much more difficult than usual. A stop along the way for the group to catch their breath and up and we were ready for the last blast. Soon enough we had arrived.

Get a drink and cool down.

We waited for the rest to arrive whilst quenching our thirst.

Word of the Year.... (I’m not doing word of the week)

quaff

During a run we quench our thirst, but if drinking a lot and quickly then we are quaffing our drink. As Sir Terry Pratchett put it in Wyrd Sisters, 'Quaffing is like drinking, but you spill more.'

Our tasks tonight,

1 - create doughnuts of mulch around the trees in the orchard 2 - remove the seed heads from the dock plants to stop the spread of the plants 3 - remove any bramble from the rose wall

A bit of a picnic afterwards and a group photo and then time to head back. The decision had been made to be a little late, the food may have had something to do with it. As the run was down hill though there was no stopping and we were back in great time.

Join us next week for more fun making a the Diff-erence.
