Spring has sprung in Bristol and it was our first "not cold" group run of the year, welcomed in by over 20 GoodGymmers!
Dom joined us from Greenwich as he's relocated to a busier GoodGym (he mught have a new job, too) and David was visiting from Portugal and fitting in as many good deeds and parkruns as he can. Both already know the ropes so it was a sea of smiling GG faces that were soon running around Queen Square
We beat Hugh, the task owner, to the Southville Centre but it was open and we know the routine so we were ready to go as soon as he arrived, blanched at the sheer number of GoodGymmers and agreed that we'd split the task with s fitness session.
There was soon sweeping and painting and hill sprints and squats with a changeover at halftime. Except for Melanie who was lucky enough to demonstrate sumo squats four times.
With a picnic table sanded and painted, the wooden structures re-preserved and planters blackened, the sweeping were tidied and the whole place looked ready for another month's intensive use by BS3 Community whilst GoodGymmers disappeared back to stretch and chat at Queen Square and workout with even more smiles!
GoodGym is definitely back and finding its feet in a new normal.
