Report written by Liz Pharoah
What started off as the perfect temperature and day for a run, soon descended into a torrential downpour as 15 GoodGym superstars delivered information regarding the Cyrenians charity to the houses of Coventry. Although the running covered around 3 miles,over 5 miles were travelled including the paths to houses. It was great to see so many with their red GoodGym tops on too.
It was great to see familiar faces as well as meeting for the first time Katherine and Jo. Thank you Jo for back marking the run.
Competition was rife as the teams raced to be the first to deliver their leaflets and be the first back to the mid point on each of the roads bottom left winning the first road, but the whole right side winning the second :)
As the weather had at this point turned from slightly damp to persevering, we entertained ourselves with a fartlek or speed-play sessions to get back to Drapers. Everyone enjoying the recovery as much as the efforts :)
Back at Drapers, in the warm and dry, we stretched and talked about next week's task at Langar Aid.
This was then the night of the first 'GoodGym Coventry' social. Great food was eaten, new friendships forged and warming drinks devoured. Thanks all. Look forward to seeing you next week, Liz x

This was a very enjoyable run in spite of the rain. I was disappointed to miss out on the social afterwards, but with no change of clothes I just had to get home and dry. Hopefully the weather will not be such a dampener for the next social.

We missed you Malcolm but totally understand as it was so wet. Fingers crossed for better weather next time :)
