Oh gosh, everyone looks freezing!

It was our bonus January run today and not only did 8 hardy GoodGymers enhance their Saturday by coming along to lend a hand at Nunsmoor Centre, three of them had done the double by completing a Freezing cold morning mission just an hour before!

Kudos

It was so lovely to see everyone in daylight and have a quick catch up on where we are with the January Challenge before presenting Tom with the Geordie cloak of Good Deeds in recognition of 50 (51 now!) good deeds with GoodGym. Well done Tom you make us all laugh and we are always inspired by your very physical dedication to tasks! Tom had the glorious opportunity of running through central Newcastle in daylight and on match day in the cloak for everyone to enjoy.

Our bonus group run today was back at one of our favourite places, Nunsmoor Centre which is a thriving community hub just 2K away from our base- perfect! We love helping the team there to do a few jobs that there regular volunteers don't always have the time to do. Today was one of our favourite tasks too as we were cleaning out the toy cupboard. You know what that means? PLAY TIME.

I have been so excited that you were coming today- I have heard so much about you!

Our job was to empty the toy cupboard, clean the shelves, sort and clean the boxes of toys, and put everything back tidily ready for the familes and groups attending on Monday to access. I think they will get a nice surprise when they get back!

The best part of today was that we had access to the community hall for our fitness session too meaning we had a rare relaxing (ish) fitness session filled with stretching, lying on the floor and a few ab exercises for good measure. If only we had somewhere warm and dry for this every week- it was such a great change.

We are back on Monday for our return to Newcastle University and don't forget the bunch of brilliant community missions going on for the rest of this month.

Hope to see you along at GoodGym Newcastle very soon.
