Flipping Good Night

The last run for February for 17 strong team at Goodgym Bath with a 5 k run to Foodcycle Bath at St Mary`s Catholic Church on Julian road to help them move everything from one storeroom to another. You can find out all about the good they do and get involved http://foodcycle.org.uk/location/bath/

A BIG CHEER for Aaron

our latest new member joining us for tonight’s run. We also have Joseph in camp tonight from Foodcycle so guaranteed not to get lost for this one, well that’s the plan anyway but just to be safe we had my good self back marking. A change to the planned route just to make it a little bit longer on the way out but the promise of a short one back to base after the task, so Steve and sat Nav Joe led the group out this evening.

Well done Emily on her 5k PB at the weekend bagging 3rd Lady ... Whoop!!!

Fiona was our task host this evening was on hand to welcome us and show us exactly what was needed to be done in this 30 minute slot. Two cupboards and full contents needed to be relocated from one building to a freshly painted store room near the kitchen. Lots of shuttling backwards and forwards with stock and two cupboards with Joe organising one end and Carol monitoring the other end. Fiona was busy rustling up some pancakes for the troops with the invitation to have a go at

TOSSING A PANCAKE

Plus they got to eat some protein balls made by Joe, Lucky bunch in Bath with Foodcycle refreshments. Thank you sooo much Foodcycle ... You Rock!!

As always time flies when you’re having fun and it was soon time to make our way back to the leisure centre. A reminder to everyone about bringing along their ID next week if you want to be paired up with your very own running coach, I can thoroughly recommend from my own experience but if you`d like more info speak to Emily or myself. Thanks everyone for another great evening in equally great company. Tonight’s Pun goes to Joe and Mary ... combo.

Look forward to seeing old and new for more action next week.

A nice flat 7k run out to help Evan at Action on Hearing Loss for our fab 15 keen bean runners. We are very lucky to have Pascale who is a sign interpreter to communicate with our host Evan tonight, so big cheer for Pascale... whoop !!

Welcome to Sam joining us for his first taste of Goodgym during the group warm up with Emily bagging a lovely pair of red laces for bringing him along. No races at the weekend but lots are hard at it training for Bath Half Marathon in a few weeks. We even had a sign lesson to say "Hello" and "Thank you" so we could all greet Evan.

Pascale led the group out tonight with Steph back marking. We took advantage of some drill work to regroup before pacing it out to our task destination. Our wonderful host Evan was eagerly waiting the groups arrival and after some signing between Pascale and Evan it became very clear what was needing done in the centres vast gardens, first job was to collect the tools needed for the job and then splitting into groups they were hard at it weeding the many flower beds, a few runners were unsure of identifying a weed.. ha!! No names will be mentioned 😊.

A full on 30 minutes spent weeding, clearing some remaining leaves and shuttling to the compost bins (Rosie was quite competitive with the wheel Barrow) and with just 4 minutes left to return everything to the shed and grab our group photo for some much deserved publicity for this wonderful centre.

Evan signed his appreciation to the everyone, also telling us how fit we are and I don't think he meant in the looks department.

A final burst of energy back to the leisure centre for a stretch and social reminder

Thanks to moi for back marking and to Joe for Tonight's lovely Pun, he really was on Pun fire tonight ... ha!!!
