Report written by Rob Riley (he/him)
Well done to 6 brave runners met at Hyde Park for our weekly group run. We welcomed Rebecca on her first task with Goodgym and met Carolat the task.
Before we set off, we found out everyone favourite running distance - 10km came out on top. This was good to know , as tonight’s task was almost 9km in total.
We headed off towards Pyramid of Arts, which we realised was mostly downhill. This was great, however we soon realised it would be a lot harder on the way back after the task.
Our task this evening was to put a fresh layer of white paint in the studio, and we spent the best part of an hour making sure we covered as much of the studio as possible – whilst trying to avoid getting too much paint on ourselves. Some of us managed this more successfully than others, however thankfully most of the paint ended up where it needed to be.
On arrival we were welcomed with the offer of tea and biscuits, which were gratefully received by all of us after our run in the rain. We each grabbed a brush and cracked open the tin of paint. Katie, Rachael and Rebecca started on one wall whilst, Tom, Jenny , Carol and Rob started on the other side of the room. Before no time most of the wall was painted, apart from the highest to reach places.
We need a pogo stick for this task Tom said helpfully to Carol
Once we’d finished the task it was time for a group photo before setting off back to base.
