To start the group run this week, I was interested to know if anyone had discovered any new favourite sports to watch since the Olympics have been on. We had some new sports and some sticking with their favourite sports from last week.

Our group run task for last night was Luxmore Gardens and on arrival after tackling the hill, we were given the good news that Glendale had weeded so we got to do more cosmetic tasks.

On our to do list was: - tidy up the edges of the border nearest the gate so that it looks tidy when people enter the park - untangling the bindweed that's taking over some of the plants - technically weeding - chopping back some of the bigger shrubs and plants - covering the border near the gate with a layer of mulch plus relocating all the bugs to a new area of the garden

A short run meant that most of us were back for the 800m final! Don't forget we have the summer social on Saturday at Hilly Fields - more details to follow today!
