๐Ÿ‘Œ22 GoodGymmers met on a pleasant post-bank holiday Monday evening for our weekly group run๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

๐Ÿ’We celebrated the very exciting news of Amy and Ed's GoodGym engagement and chatted about what we've got coming up this week.

๐Ÿ‘‘ We named and numbered whilst saying what we'd provide a never-ending supply of if we were a monarch. From beer to cycle lanes to love, we'd make a lovely monarchy ๐Ÿป ๐Ÿšฒโค๏ธ

๐ŸŽจAfter a quick warm up, we set off to run/walk to Park Grove School to continue painting their fences. Most people remembered to wear suitable painting clothes (some of us didn't ๐Ÿ˜ณ).

๐Ÿคบ We got to work quickly, splitting into pairs and groups to cover as much of the fence as possible. Some excellent teamwork meant that we were able to finish painting the fence (including underneath!) a lovely shade of green in the time we were there ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿฅณ While a few people completed the finishing touches, the rest of us played a quick game of Stick in the Mud. Once everyone had finished painting, those of us with painty hands cleaned that off before we were stuck with green hands for life. We then grouped together for some "Dice of Doom" fitness. Our lack of weights may have got in the way of the shoulder presses but there was some excellent planking and push ups, making for a good workout. A group photo and birthday squats for all the recent birthdays completed our fitness ๐Ÿ“ธ

๐Ÿช Thus, feeling fit, we ran/walked back to base to stretch off, eat baked goods and head homewards or to the pub. Three folk had baked tonight, which was greatly enjoyed, alongside a Taskforce chat about what we'd like to do at GoodGym York going forwards. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, do let me (or anyone in Taskforce) know ๐Ÿค”

Thanks for a brilliant evening everyone ๐Ÿ™Œ
