Wow !! and double Wow tonight at Goodgym Bath with a super 16 joining in for tonight's task at Manvers Baptist church to help our host Peter get more painting done at this much used community church from folk dancing to Qiong, it`s all going on in here. A short run tonight but this gave us time to devote to the task in hand.

A very warm welcome to our three new runners tonight Alessandro, Mary and Joseph , great to have you along tonight and gives me an opportunity to explain a bit more about Goodgym and the different elements of Good you can do in Bath.

Welcome back to Sam who has been holidaying in Rio, either that or he`s been for a fake tan... only joking Sam.

An intro to the group during the warm up and a headcount, great that we got to 14 before confusion set in tonight as we normally only get to 7 or 8 before we lose it .Not mentioning any names but a flower springs to mind.

Although a relatively short run tonight out to the task, it gave Steph our lovely trainer ( her words I think) a chance to put the group through their paces with some squats to start closely followed by tricep dips just around the corner. A detour was the order of the night at the Wellsway subway with some hill sprints from the group heading up in pairs at Max effort with a chance to recover on the return down and repeat a few times. Not failing to disappoint with the wall looking all too inviting for some seated squat minute reps and a great chance for a good pic.

We arrived at the task to be greeted by our host Peter who quickly divided the group into Two with half tackling the quiet room after a debrief from Peter, some great life skills learn tonight. The remainder of the group braved the cold outdoors with head torches and the everlasting railings armed with Hammerite. John was getting all philosophical outside, Now that's a hard to word to say quickly. We indulged 45mins on tonight's task before the Quiet room ran out of paint and the railings ran out of time but I was relieved to see someone actually came to unlocked that bicycle that always seems to be chained up before they decided to paint it as well.

10 minutes to spare to dash downstairs to wash out the brushes and rollers and pack up ready for next time with a chance for a group photo before bidding farewell to Peter and heading back to the leisure centre for a stretch out and Pun run with Jess scooping tonight Pun, thanks Jess we love it.

Thank you to Jess for back marking tonight.

Thank you everyone for coming tonight and showing what great community spirit and enjoyment you can get in 90 minutes on a cold winter night...Awesome !!
