9 Goodgymers ran, walked and cycled 5km to Spencer Park to assist with tidying the park, ready for warmer weather and more daylight!
Our task for the evening was to give the playground markings a good scrub with brushes and warm soapy water. Although they didn't look too dirty, as soon as we began scrubbing, the dirt lifted to reveal the bright colours of the hopscotch, maze and snake designs. We took it in turns to fill up buckets of water, scrub and hold the lights so others could see what they were doing.
On the way back to the Coventry Boys and Girls Club, we stopped by the statue of James Starley for a 'meet and retreat', running at a moderate effort towards your partner, high fiving and running back. Before stretching, we tried to spell out our names with our toes whilst standing on one leg - a great exercise for developing stability!
