This evening we were back out delivering leaflets for Slough Libraries and Cultures department at Slough Borough Council. With our welcome brief and warm up complete (thanks Sut for leading the warm up), we decided to take a different route into Langley today – a novel idea as running up past Tesco and Sainsbury’s only makes us hungry for (lie)-brie…

Plus we wanted more locals to see us run through town looking all fine in our red t-shirts (we actually do get approached to ask who we are and what we are doing)…and its always a great turn up for the books when a member of the public then googles us and registers for a group run.

Thank you Ruth, Sandy, Ricky and Sut Yee for back marking duties today. And Chrissy for walk leading part of the task tonight.

A library is an early version of the World Wide Web!

Isn’t it just! No need to be hush hush anymore in a library…they’ve moved with the times – it was bound to happen.

We are very lucky in Slough to have an amazing new library, The Curve. There is a wide array of activities and performances that take place here and at the some of the other libraries. The one in Britwell is also really impressive. Definetly book mark these for trips with the kids during the summer holidays.

Lets make shhh happen

So we arrived at Upton Court Park to meet Nisha who had kindly agreed to bring the box of leaflets to us (I like my spine so didn’t wish to break it with the heavy load) so an alternative delivery method was needed.

Our areas of focus was around Ditton Academy in Upton, so with 18 of us running today, we split up into smaller teams and headed out to the local streets to deliver the leaflets.

The team tonight used every trick in the book to take on the shorter distance…Team Nisha won the toss and covered Quaves Road whilst Team Darren took on the estate near Ditton Academy.

The task itself didn’t take us too long today…with 18 eager beavers on board tonight.

We did however get to do our own rendition of Abbey Rd cover shot, took on the #loveparks of Slough, covering Salt Hill, Upton Court Park and Lascelles Park…as well as our own photo shoot against the formidable graffiti near The Curve Library undertaken by Aik Saath…Amazing talents in Slough

Girls just wanna hang fun

As part of our fitness session today we decided to see if we could beat our dead hang times from the last time we did the same leaflet drop task – what a coincidence hey!

Well done to Lucy for hanging for the longest time…and to everyone else for giving the exercise a go…

Upcoming runs:

Next weeks task is a corker! We will be getting into kayak’s on the Jubilee River to clear the river bed of litter. I have had to cap this run so please book it soon if you want to come along. I may need to make the meet up time at 18:00, however will confirm during the week to those registered for the run. https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/fancy-a-trip-along-the-river
