15 runners ran 5 k to do good in Springfield park baptist church and Preschool

15 runners gathered inside the ideas hub as rain threatened to put a dampener on proceedings, but as arranged by Goodgym Trainer Ken the rain stopped just in time for the warm up in the park.

We began with some running drills to work on our form then set of for a pleasant run along the riverside path to springfield park Baptist church. A great mix of regulars and new Goodgymers quickly set to work on a heavily overgrown garden and driveway. A multitude of weeds were removed, trees chopped and plants pulled, we filled bags, a composter and a wheely bin, but still had plenty of weeds left over so we made a large heap for easy removal later. so pleased to have a massive impact on the garden which could be a huge asset to the preschool. On the way back Gerry led Claire and Ivo on an extra loop round the foot bridges before we met back in the park for a relay to finish. Everyone stormed round the loop and cheered their teams on as Ken and Ken brought the teams home, there was even a Hammet race off which remained friendly!

Back to base for a stretch and a few words from Ivo completed another fun and rewarding session!

Next weeks task is to be confirmed, but sign up anyway, as it is certain to be fun!
