MPH? more like CPM (cats per mile)

Chelmsford Report written by Angela

A lower than usual turn out during holiday season, but we welcomed lovely new goodgymmers Jennifer and Nicola to the fold!

A chat and run (we get there eventually), Andy confirmed my suspicions that this may be one of our longer missions but with no pressure for speed we got listening to Jens big challenge for next year (100k!).

We met up with Fay and Sallyann (celebrating officially sacking off work at the end of the year) with two full bags of leaflets and skirted around a warren of houses, disappearing off around bends and cul de sacs to make sure everyone got some fun updates on what local charities are up to in the next few months.

Dreaming of dinners we managed to follow our steps back the way we came to the gym meeting spot, hoping the evenings stay light for a while longer.

Ants in our lycra pants

Chelmsford Report written by Laurie Chatterjee (she/her)

Only three of us met at ARU for the run, so we set off promptly and together to our task at St Luke's Church. We had a good chat about parenting and fitness, with Jane thankfully leading the way amongst the chat.

Fay and Sallyann were already digging out the weeds, so the rest of us chose our tools (some deadly looking) and joined in. EVENTUALLY Rich strolled over and swept up the weeds we'd been digging up.

We unfortunately disturbed a few ants in the process, but we did dig out plenty of weeds. So grateful for Richard E bringing his strength and digging out the more tough weeds.

Excellent job everyone, and we'll be back again for more weeding soon!

What a load of prick-les

Chelmsford Report written by Fay Downing

Whoop whoop it's the sound of the GoodGym!

Time for another run, arriving on a warm summer eve and greeting Nicola, we had a chat and I'd planned a nice circular route to be led by Jane. We headed off into the light night. Hopefully Mohammed's leg will heal up soon and he can get back to running with us! He has a parkrun PB to attempt!

We chatted as we ran (of course) , Erin lamenting that her days of being able to attend multiple raves a weekend have passed her by, Joel lamenting he didn't have a million pounds in cash to spend on a house, and Ben not lamenting at all that he is going to Switzerland next week!

Superb job there everyone, Pastor Chris was very impressed and grateful at the amount we did, and that we survived the flesh wounds from all the brambles. Any excuse for me to wield an excessively sized scythe is always good.

Fay headed back to meet us at the gym and we set off. She called the police en route about a broken down car on a bend. Another good deed done.

Although we dwindled in numbers on the route back we still had strong appetite for cake, which Andy had clearly home made. Jane even took one home for Rich and he was kind enough to send a photo (NSFW) of him enjoying it. No good deed for that.

Can we promise cake next week? You never know! (But you defo got spoiled this first run, Nicola!)

Nice, Martin!

Chelmsford Report written by Fay Downing

7 GoodGymers got involved with this month's walk and talk, it was also Martin's first foray into run leading and it was good to see Erin back after a while off. After a word perfect introductory briefing we set off towards Central Park, dodging commuters along the way. We arrived to find Sallyann and Leanne ready and waiting and Edith and the group from the Ideas Hub arrived shortly after. We took at leisurely stroll up to Admiral's park and the gym equipment area. Rich showed off his prowess on many of the machines. There was also a monkey bar competition, but Richard decided he liked his shoulders in one piece and didn't take part, seemed sensible to me! We made our way back to Central Park and said goodbye to Edith and the group and then those that were going that way headed back to HQ where we did some excellent stretching.

Congratulations to Leanne for her 50th good deed and see you next week for some more GoodGyming.

7 Goodgymmers almost went to the pub

Chelmsford Report written by Angela

..but it turns out there was a task to do.

Back at Meadow View it's nice to see all the work Goodgym has helped with week on week but there's always some pesky weeds to deal with (especially with this weather) .

We emptied out some big raised planters for a change of layout (those planters coming soon to a marketplace near you!) and then added a nice polka dot feature to the lawn.

It threatened to rain the whole time but we got out dry and only slightly bitten. Some of the gang buzzed off for side quest: bee collection in town. Prizes have been promised. I'm sure there will be unbeelievable photos.
