Three was definitely the magic number with 3 new Goodgym runners and clearing the canal to Bridge 3, we had a great evening. Lovely to see so many of you returning and great to see Norma, Rosie and Katie.

Tonight, we headed out to visit the canal, starting out slightly away from the basin at bridge 1, we splintered into groups and attacked the canal banks armed with bags, bag hops and litter pickers, the teams bagged and binned up any rubbish on the path. As this area is also a cycle path we were also supporting Sustrans who support the use and maintenance of local cycleways of the UK. Competition was rife as to who could find the most interesting litter- this possibly being the separate discoveries of a sofa (although we were unable to remove this), a comb and a hair dryer!

Making the most of the remaining daylight, we regrouped and ran back towards town and completed our hill reps on the lead up to the cathedral. Hampered slightly by water and a takeaway delivery driver. Everyone put in maximum effort for all 5 efforts. Fantastic powering up the hills. As it was at the top of the hill, we stopped off at the Knife Angel and had a photo by the Cathedrals too.

Next week is delivering bags for the Cyrenians aswell as the first GoodGym Coventry social. Please bring a rucksack you can run with if you have one.

Hope you all hava a lovely week and see you next week, Liz x
