10 lovely runners made it out to run from St Matthew's Community Hub last night to Cheeky Cherubs CIC in Urmston. We were joined by Christina who earned her GG Tourist badge as she was visiting us from her home location of Liverpool - great to meet you and thanks for coming!

Before we set off we celebrated the brilliant news that we have had another pairing with a Coach runner in Trafford! Elaine, one of our Taskforce members has just been paired up and will start her individual coach runs next week. Find out more about coach runs [here(https://www.goodgym.org/coach-runs)]

Congratulations Elaine!

We also chatted about some exciting partnerships with new Community groups which will lead to some new and different tasks over the coming months. Lots to get stuck into!

We set off for Cheeky Cherubs slightly late (due to the football...there's a theme) and unfortunately due to the stormy weather (which many of our fellow GoodGymers elsewhere had braved the night before), the roof garden at Cheeky Cherubs was in a right old pickle. Rather than paint it we decided it was best to give it a good tidy up and make it safe for further predicted bad weather.

Whilst we were there we managed to tidy all the toys up, make fencing safe, throw away debris and rubbish and unblock a drain so that quite literally a pond of standing water could drain away. Phew!

To top it off we held the inaugural GG Trafford Penalty Shoot out competition with a fiercley fought contest being drawn by Lois and John. And excellent goalie skills demonstrated by Katie and Nicola!

After showing task owner Sue what we had achieved and promising to come back soon to sort the painting out (which has been postponed due to weather), we ran back to St Matthew's feeling pretty darn chipper.

When we got back we stretched off and chatted about next week's task which is WALKABLE! Check out the run listing on our Trafford homepage. We also agreed that we would arrange a run for those that wanted to get some mileage on their legs. Everyone's a winner.

Thanks to everyone for making it out and thank goodness the rain held off for us AGAIN!

See you all next time, Kate x
