Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Subzero temperatures tonight at Goodgym Bath For our fabulous 14 and made of tough stuff runners for a 7k run out to The Nest Project to help sort children's clothes so they can easily distributed to families in the city.
Warm up and headcount out of the way quickly this evening as we have a lot of ground to cover in a short space of time, plus we were all blooming freezing so good to get going. The run out was flat and fulfilling with a few chances to regroup with some functional fitness on route.
Our host Pip was waiting to greet us and soon had us organised sorting through boxes of donated children's clothes and folding and organising them into gender and age group so they can be easily distributed to families along with children's equipment for the very young. A second group cleaned toys downstairs so they are ready to hand out. There was a lot of cooing in the room, I believe some of the team were getting broody for the rest It was light relief to be indoors for this 30 minute task.
We always make enough time to catch a group photo before leaving and thanking our hosts for allowing us to come along and do some good in our community, so everyone please spread the word if you know anyone that might benefit from some children's clothes or equipment.
The run back was a flat but fast one with the front runners looping to keep the group close and to ensure we arrived back at the leisure centre in good time for a well earned stretch out and vote on tonight's pun.
Thanks to Mary for back marking and to Rosie for tonight's pun. Yet another fun evening with a fabulous group of people, it's what makes the world go around.
Remember to bring you ID along for Emily or myself to check if your wishing to get paired up or join us on missions.
