What a lovely warm evening for a group run!
Run, Forest, run! Or Walk!
After a brief hello and an intro we separated into two groups - one group walked (in a leisurely manner it must be said, checking out fitness equipment around the lake and enjoying a wonderful sunny evening) towards Hainault, whilst the running group went around the park catching up with the walkers at the lake and then back at sports grounds to walk to the station for a task together.
Blooming Marvelous
We were joined at Hainault Station by the area manager Lorraine and got to work! Jay, Dharmesh and Lottie were responsible for creating a lovely green display at one of the indoor planters and it must be said, they did a fantastic job!
In the meantime, Hélène and John were responsible for a arm-workout that was watering of planters! It was very deceiving to think you've watered well as the planters needed a lot of water to get all the way through the roots and soil but these two did a marvelous job to keep the blooms going!
Linda, Sharon and James made sure that all planters were clear of any litter and the job of dead-heading the flowers was accomplished before planting out beautiful pansies for winter to keep the colour going for all to enjoy! Extra kudos to Linda for being the photographer of the night!
Over and done and running in the dark
Once we finished, a few folks walked back to their home directly form the station whilst another half ran back to Fairlop Waters, the evening was dark but it was soooo lovely. Overall we ran 4.7km and walked 2.3km, not bad for a Monday evening! Well done to everyone who also walked/ran/cycled to the session - additional activity to keep you and the air fit and healthy:)
