A fabulous 15 this evening at Goodgym Bath for a 5k run to the community allotments at the foot of The Two Tunnels on Lyncombe road.
Whoop!! and Welcome to Leanne from Goodgym York
joining us fresh from racing the train at the weekend before heading for a well deserved break in Devon
Well Done to everyone who raced at the weekend Two Tunnels series from 10k to 50k some great achievements... Feel proud!!
Time to hit the road and head towards a wee hill and the job at hand tonight
TWO TASKS to cut back the over hanging hedge and hazel from the young fruit trees and lay some chicken wire over a slippery wooden bridge accessing the allotments along a shared pathway.
The route out involved a rather enjoyable leg burning hill or two, although the first was considered a warm up for the second one and i really do believe they enjoyed every moment.
The Task itself
LOPPERS and SECATEURS pairing up to form the hedge trimmers with Ed on saw duty on a fallen tree and had a later use as a cuttings battling ram. Emma,Tim and Sam getting to grips with that slippery bridge with some chicken wire and a staple gun.
40 MINUTES LATER
Job done!! one well pruned hedge stretching along a narrow footpath with a mad dash at the end to create a wildlife haven with the cuttings and one very safe bridge to cross with our very own
QUEEN MARY
to officially cut the twig and open the bridge to the public. This was suitably topped off with some delicious raspberry tasting before the short run back to base.
Double thanks to Alison for back marking and for tonights pun.

Colette Hume has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Colette is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

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.
