Congratulations to everyone who ran the Big Half, we had PB's, first time half marathoners, people that had a great few hours running the streets of London - you all did amazing!! Most importantly it was fantastic to have GG support along the route - thank you!

I treated us to a shorter group run this evening so our tired legs didn't have to run so far (I can't say I've been so kind for the Monday after London marathon...).

It was lovely to see some new faces at tonight's group run - welcome, hope you had a great evening of doing good. But also we got to see some familiar faces return after a couple of years - welcome back!

I don't know if it was the talk of tombs or the post-group run social but there were a lot of red tshirts gathering outside Glass Mill. We did a quick warm up to stretch our legs before heading to St Marys Church.

On arrival Marion gave us a quick run through of tasks that needing tackling this evening, these included:

  • sweeping the leaves to reveal the alium bulbs, these end up taking over the space in spring
  • clearing the leaves from the paths
  • clearing the ivy from the tombs
  • scraping the moss off the tombs
  • moving the giant bags of leaves over to the other side of the church yard

The tombs were looking a lot cleaner and less taken over by ivy when our time was up. Luckily we still had time for tea and biscuits in the church - thanks so much Marion!

We ended the evening with a lovely social at Levante to celebrate our recent achievements.

Turns out this was my last Lewisham session as I move to Acton in a few weeks! Lovely to meet you all at various group runs since January - hoping to join GoodGym in West London so maybe see you again at some GG events in the future! :-)
