6 runners ran to decorate at Mencap

We were glad to see James back for his first Goodgym of 2022 and after warming up we set off on our run through Chelmsford.

Anthony from Mencap welcomed us and identified the areas that needed some final bits of yellow and green painting and holes to be repaired. Charlie and Joe got down on the floor to carefully paint around the radiators, whilst James got up the ladder to cover the holes with filler and Andy supervised. Rich took the final section on the ladder for the yellow, and I finished a few small other yellow areas.

On our way back to ARU, Rich led us on a fitness session of jog-run-walk back and repeat using lampposts as distance markers along the bunny walks. Joe was speedy as ever, but Charlie was definitely pushing it this week too!

Thanks to all for helping on this task (and keeping safe in masks whilst indoors) - it's always a really worthwhile and welcomed task for Goodgym to help with keeping Mencap fresh and bright for its students, service users, and team.
