Katy Goddard has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Katy is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Strava Strops, Olympic Efforts and Unicorns!
Wow, well that was the hottest run yet!
A big welcome to our new recruits, Michelle and Katy - both of whom got stuck into the task and the time trial afterwards - what an introduction to GoodGym!
We had a relatively short run to Buckland Community Centre tonight where we were put to work in various places around the centre. Angela and Mel made the corridors smell all orangey as they cleaned the skirting with some strong smelling products. The rest of the indoor team (where it was hotter than outside!) sorted out the charity shop area which looked much more appealing once they'd finished. The outdoor team swept the front clear of broken bits of plastic and cigarette butts then went round to the garden and did some more sweeping and weeding. It all looked a lot better after it had been GoodGym-ed!
After finishing our task with many thank yous from the reception staff at the centre we headed off to Kingston Rec for our GGOlympics 1km time trial and crazy photo shoot. After some Strava updates and restarts I think it was mostly recorded. If you need to add yourself to my activity the link is here. Thanks to Jo for the action shots - you can see them all on our Facebook page. I think we did a pretty good job of the human GG logo :)
Next week we have a slightly longer run up to Hilsea Lido. Sign up here. Maura and Mel are going to set off at 6:20 so if you are worried about your speed you are welcome to head out with them. Just make sure you've signed in at the centre first.
Also don't forget our social on 11th July and the community missions on 21st July: morning and afternoon.
Happy running everyone!
