A very warm welcome to our new runners this evening - go and give Kabba and Magda a cheer - what heroes you are for making it out for the first time in such miserable weather!

With a bit of a task mix-up this evening, we managed to organise a last minute flyering session to spread the word about Kings Christmas Trees, the profits from which fund The Feast, a weekly outreach meal for homeless and vulnerable people in the local community.

Kim, Amber and Clare chose the relaxed option, covering streets within walking distance of our start point at Glass Mill. Everyone else went up Lewisham Way, and covered a number of streets adjacent to Hilly Fields. Pairs ran off to cover a street at a time, reconvening at the corner of Hilly Fields (with those lucky first finishers "encouraged" to do some hill repeats to keep themselves warm!). Despite the soggy weather and a rather large stash of flyers, we soon got through them all, and headed back to Glass Mill for a cool down and an early finish (hill reps in the rain felt like more than enough hard work for one evening!).

Thanks everyone for your enthusiasm and dedication, even on a chilly wet evening. It's really quite something to spend the evening roaming around the cold dark streets of Lewisham with such an enthusiastic bunch of runners!

There's so much festive excitement coming up in the next week or so, including: our Christmas get together at Ninth Life, tree planting at Forster Memorial Park, one of my absolute favourite tasks sorting and packing at Big Red Box, GoodGym's Christmas extravaganza, and seeing the fruits of our flyering labours distributing Kings Christmas trees!

See you all soon I hope!
