Oops we did it again! 20 runners ran to The Parvaaz Project (www.taha.org.uk) on Northampton Avenue to show what we could do in just 30 minutes.

What a great turnout we had today... new runners joining us every week.. big shout out to Keira, Alex, Helen and Aneta on their first Group Run and for getting stuck into their first task!

Knees to meet you

GoodGym Slough are all about getting to know you and partner work! And this week was no different... A warm up game of knee tag with a complete stranger.. what better way to get to know you hey!

Followed by a short run out of Salt Hill Park to meet Alex again at the task site.

Massive Impact

Alex, once again gave us a warm welcome and overview of their Community Organisation and the impact our support two weeks ago had on their center users.

Swept Away

Always so lovely hear positive feedback from our task owners...our GoodGymers were ready to get stuck in. Alex had quite a few tasks for us this evening... so we divided into 4 groups

  • Painters
  • Rakers
  • Pickers
  • Weeders
  • and our Chrissy on window cleaning duty

Lovin' it

A lot of brushes did a lot of sweeping! Aneta, Keira and Emily took on the painting duty and in Keira's words... she was 'lovin' it'

Rake it up!

Michael, Ricky, Dan and Alex took to the raking...men with tools on a mission to clear those leaves.... whilst our lovely ladies Michelle, Emma and Jo took great care and pride in clearing those lively leaves

Litter bugs me!

Tim, Rachel, Sandy, Lorraine, Anna and Helen did a great job of clearing the front entrance of the center of litter.. it looked like a different place!

Weed it up

A speedy bit of weeding by Chris, Ashu.... they literally removed anything they didn't like

Rather than ever clean a window... I just tell people they're frosted!

Well... not our Chrissy... those window sills went from a darker shade of grey to pure brillant white!

Wow! What a busy evening we had... but its never quite over!

A 1.5km run back... a bit of out n' back running and a cool down session.... once again... thank you to each and every one of you for the difference you've made on this Monday evening to one of our local community organisations...

We will be back to see Alex in a few weeks time

A holiday? Who wants to rest on bank holiday Monday anyway?

Goodgym Slough Group Run will be on next Monday and we will be helping our local gymnastics club with leaflet distributions in the local area

Have a great week everyone... thank you again for coming along.
