Tonight saw us going back to the Boscombe Salvation Army, a place we hadn't been to since September 2016! Which was also my very first GoodGym task as a runner.

Back then the distance was quite a bit less as our meeting spot was down by Boscombe Pier. This evening saw us run a gentle 9km there and back along the beach front to the sounds of the waves. We're not positive but we think this may have been the longest distance the Bournemouth group have run on our group task evening!

YOU GUYS ARE RUNNING MACHINES!!

It was also great to have Andrew back after being busy with work for the last 5 weeks or so...we hope we see you again next week! Don't let work get in the way of us!!

We arrived right on time and Ruth task manager was ready to put us to work. We love a well organised task! On the agenda was a bit of a spring clean that involved a sweep of the front porch area which Daryl made short work of he then had time to help with the windows and then follow that up with sweeping the back yard too! Ross, Abi and Andrea took on the windows in the entrance lobby, inside and out. The kitchen was cleaned to a shine by Lee and Andrew and the pool room upstairs which Caprice and Neil took care of.

Ross, Andrea and Abi then moved to the back yard and wiped down tables and cleaned the area of any rubbish.....the place was left spotless and very welcoming!

We've been invited back by Ruth to help clear the area around the church next time!

We finished so quickly that on our way back we used the steps opposite Boscombe Pier to do some leg work and push ups before setting off back to Flirt Cafe.

A super efficient task with a really nice gentle run along a beautiful part of Bournemouth.

A perfect group run!!

SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEEK

GOOD LUCK DARYL ON YOUR 10 MILE RACE ROUND THE BAY THIS SUNDAY, WE KNOW YOU'LL BE GREAT!!!
