No new runners tonight but returning to the fold, after a year or so away, we were happy to welcome back Angela for her second group run.

Just a short (but uphill) run to our task tonight as we returned to Sloane Court. This is a council run residential home for the over 55’s and resident Tony explained that due to cutbacks the large garden is somewhat neglected. Tony does his best to keep the weeds at bay but is always happy to have some Goodgym help.

Our last visit here was in May and as the weeks have passed the weeds have grown. We focussed on 3 main areas, with Team up front, Team out back & a crack patio team with barrow boy Martin clearing away the detritus.

After 30 minutes or so weed made a big difference and now I’m sure the residents will enjoy the garden a whole lot more. Tony was very grateful for our help as were 2 other residents who expressed their appreciation with thanks and a round of applause from their flat windows.

A lot of the residents in this block are house bound and the garden is their view on the world and I’m so glad we’ve made that view a little bit better.

Just time for a quick fitness session in nearby Queens Park where we partnered up and took on a running, squatting & press upping challenge before heading back to base for a cool down.

Good job guys, see you next week when we are back at the Community Kitchen.

Whoopee!!

It was a Flying af....Fair tonight at Goodgym Bath with a double dose of Flyering for Julian house for their circular walk of Bath raising funds for the homeless and Bath City Football club which is a community owned club for some upcoming matches so if your into Football show your support,

10 runners

10 K

100's of Flyers

Nice to see some of our lovely runners back from their holidays and missing those who are on holidays but that doesn't stop operation Goodgym Bath from functioning.

Good luck to Pascale and Alison who are racing in Salisbury at the weekend.

No time to dilly dally tonight for a longer undulating run around the city of Bath spreading charity and community news for upcoming events but rest assured there was still lots of chances to work on our core strength with the added toning benefit, but no time for fun at the fun fair.

It was certainly no picnic in the park this evening but definitely all the fun at the fair.

A lot of flyers posted and a lot of ground covered so a win win situation for everyone concerned. Well done !! Great efforts all round at Goodgym Bath this evening.

A mixture of speed work with some looping to keep us as one this evening and it was literally seconds to spare for the final push back to the leisure centre. I have to say everyone worked their little socks off tonight on s slightly undulating route but still managed to smile and give their lovely trainer some cheeky stick.

Thank you Steve for tonight's pun and Mary for back marking.

Please remember to bring your documents for pairing or missions to the next group run, let's reach as many isolated older people that we can. We need to make this happen.
