๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ20 excellent GoodGymmers gathered on a mild Monday evening in November. We welcomed Gemma for her first GoodGym run and celebrated both Govers who reached impressive milestones on the same night. It was Rich's 100th good deed and Nikki's 200th. Go go go Govers! We also celebrated some epic running achievements this week, including the Dalby Dash, the Yorkshire 3 Peaks and Steve's longest run ever ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธAfter a discussion of our favourite races/runs (Race the Train and Kielder were the most popular!), we warmed up and headed to Park Grove Primary School. Vicky met us there and gave us our instructions.

๐ŸŒฟ We split into 3 groups - skip, willow and pond - and quickly got to work. The skip group were responsible for "lobbing" various items into said skip. Meanwhile, the willow group were "lopping" said willow and transporting it to the willow pile. The pond team (mostly Dom) were on frog-watch and did some cracking weeding alongside that. Each group did a brilliant job and got loads done ๐Ÿธ

๐Ÿ‡๐ŸขOnce we'd finished, there was time for some fitness, "Hare and Tortoise"-style, which may have got a tad competitive. And then it was time to head back to CVS and on to the pub and Barbara's brownies ๐Ÿซ

๐Ÿ™Œ Thank you everyone, excellent work, and don't forget there are lots of opportunities to get involved this week ๐Ÿฅณ
