For a moment we thought it might be typical Tuesday weather but the weather Gods were smiling and the sun came out again as 11 GoodGym runners welcomed Wendy and headed off to the canal.

As we have the bridges 1-4 to look after, tonight we started at 4, which meant a new route and headed back towards the city centre. Thanks to Laura and Damian who front marked as Lil, Victoria and I kept up the rear. In pairs, the teams set off to clear the paths in support of the Canal and River Trust and Sustrans. Exciting finds of the night:James and Malcolm found a mountain of cans, Wendy and Cathy found a pot of paint and a shoe which was retrieved using team work by Damian and Victoria. Other items found included three socks and several items of clothing.

We then worked our way back to the city centre, clearing the paths up till bridge 2 when our bags were just too full to add any more litter to.

Before the end of the session, we completed our trio relays with some fantastic sprinting from all involved. What a lovely evening, thanks all. Have lovely weekends, enjoy running if you are out and about and see you next week at the slightly earlier time of 5.45pm for 6. Liz x
