13 runners ran 3k to help their local community in Colchester

The rain didn't deter our Goodgym runners tonight and we welcomed Emily to her first Goodgym run.

With everyone discussing what we would spend our winnings on if we were to have a big win on tonight's lottery draw, Tav led the way to Firstsite where we were greeted by Eddie. The tasks were to tidy the grass edging on the footpath, pick up bricks that had made their way across the green space, cut back the twigs from around the tree bases and pick up litter - we definitely had plenty to keep us busy! Everyone did an excellent job and Eddie is always very appreciative of the work Goodgym does to help keep the site looking good.

Before leaving we did a circuit training session that focused on our legs - there were certainly a few funny walks after our Goodgymers started the run back to Leisure World!

Once we arrived back we did our stretches and concluded that any big prize wins tonight from our shared lottery ticket will be spent on a new expensive head torch for Ella, a Goodgym group holiday and doing something charitable. After all, we are all about doing something good for the benefit others.

Well done to Tav who did his first coach run this week and had a good time discussing common intrests, such as birds, with his new coach. Don't forget to get your DBS checks done so that you can join in with local mission runs or to arrange a coach pairing.

It was agreed that there will be a social organised for the 31st January at The New Inn - make contact with Ian if you would like to join.
