What an evening, it was extra busy in (not a Ghost) town as Coventry Cathedral was playing host to the Specials. It was great to welcome Gemma and Anne-Marie as 16 of us warmed up to the sound checks in the Cathedral and dynamic stretched to the beat- thanks Laura!

We reached the task and quickly set about clearning the lavender beds of dead lavender and weeds as well as transferring the large amount of soil ready for the ground to be flat as possible.

Armed with wheelbarrows, spades, rakes, forks and trowels we set to work. Unfortunately, even with over 45 minutes work, we were unable to transfer all of the soil, however the lavender beds and other flower beds were de-weeded.

Before heading back we completed some speedwork- parlauf with recovery and speed intervals in pairs and finished with a good old-fashioned sprint- Good work Liam!

Finally, we returned to Drapers, stretched , caught up on plans for the weekend- local parkruns and a local 10km. This was unanimously agreed to be our most physical task yet and enjoyed by all. Hope there aren't too many achy shoulders today.

Looking forward to seeing you all next week, Liz x
