A nice little run out for a fabulous 13 at Goodgym Bath tonight flyer dropping for Age uk around some of the doctors surgeries in the city, showing the various services that are provided by Age uk and how to stay warm this winter.

A big welcome to Nicola joining us for her first Goodgym experience so after a bit of Goodgym info on the various ways to get involved from coach runs to group goings on, it was time to drag everyone out into the misty evening to warm up and count numbers before heading out.

Our first port of call was to the Library where we Had some squat magic moments (some may disagree but great to keep those legs strong) but it was closed .. oops!! So quickly moving on up through the streets to St. James's surgery and some flyer hill reps, just because we can and it's great training even without a post box we are not defeated. Then a sweep out to Weston surgery to make our next drop and almost delivered to a poor gentleman living next door (Steph didn't have her glasses on) or was she testing the group, well she is the leader and you know what they say FOLLOW MY LEADER we bid farewell to Lucy on the way back as she peeled off home before making our way down to Monmouth surgery on route back to the leisure centre. A few more goodbyes before a final burst back to the leisure centre trying to avoid the Christmas market all topped off with a sprint finish on the last 100 metres Joe and Alison going head to head and then, stretch and relax... great work from all.

Thanks to Nicola for the Run Pun and Mary for back marking tonight.

Next week is the final run before xmas so get Tinselled Up for this one as we are helping prep for a community party https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/graffiti-removal-in-the-subway

Don't FORGET the XMAS SOCIAL on 15th, Yikes!! That's next week. Goodgym on ICE followed by drinks on ICE, no risk assessment for this one, all I can say is HIGH and at your own but I will be on hand with mulled wine and camera to catch some magic moments so don't miss out https://www.goodgym.org/parties/goodgym-bath-christmas-party

You are all amazing people so keep at it

A dreary damp cold evening in Bath for our super 7 runners for our 7k run for The British Heart Foundation distributing charity collection bags being its that time of year to declutter

A warm welcome to Tom joining us for his first Goodgym run, apologies for the rain but we are in Bath after all. A much needed warm up to get us geared up and ready for action on this cold evening. The load was shared out amongst the runners filling pockets with bags before our headcount and setting off in the direction of Widcombe.

A good mixture of hills tonight with lots of squats thrown in as we regrouped on tonight's route and a Giant hill rep on Forefield rise (thrown in for good measure) one of Baths steepest hills and I have to say "didn't they do well" although a few moans and groans could be heard.

We distributed over 150 bags tonight around the city raising awareness and some much needed funds for The British Heart foundation plus we topped it off with a longer run back whilst running and chatting.

Thank you to Pascale for back marking and to Tom for tonight's pun.

Please remember to bring your documents for ID checking if you wish to be paired up or get involved with missions to the next group run or arrange a convenient time/place with Steph or Emily.

Great run tonight and the bonus is you did good whilst getting fit.. Brilliant
