York Report written by York runner
9 GG Yorkies headed to Walmgate to sand, undercoat and gloss several wooden flowerbed fences.
Jack and Ed took on the sanding and uncoating challenge, sorting out the one fence which hadn't already been prepared, whilst the rest of us went glossing mad.
Katie almost didn't wear the protective paper suit but the only person brave enough to go PPE-free was Helen, who was also an extremely careful painter.
We did have an incident where someone came an unravelled an electric pink feather boa in the vicinity, which meant everywhere you looked, pink feathers were stuck to white gloss, but we were rescued by the local councillor who did a 'feather pick'.
In just over an hour, all the glossing was done. Helen remained paint-free whilst all of us in the suits managed to paint our hands, legs etc. Debs even managed to kneel in two small puddles and had lovely white knees.
Ed, Debs and Jack stayed on like troopers for a little while longer to finish their undercoating - job done!

York Report written by Tim Mckenzie
After an action packed epic weekend at Endure 24 for some of us. We came together for another Egg-less Monday. Hard to stomach i know.
I was happy to report back on some excellent endure performances namely Becky and Nicky who came second in their event. And Huw who smashed out his 100 mile goal before deciding to do a victory lap and make 105 miles! Well done to everyone at Endure! More importantly though we were celebrating the amazing Ed, an important cog in Goodgym York who completed his 100th good deed last Thursday.
To celebrate we all did an endure themed warmup, so we could all experience the joys and spills of running endure 24! Pumped up and ready for action, we hit the road with the lovely Laura and John backmarking.
"We are running 2 of the 3 mountains of York tonight" John doing his best to frighten first timer Jack.
Arriving at the Viking Road play area, we found not only task owner Kristina. But also Trainers wife, Lizzie (no doubt reporting back to the boss!) And Lisa who was very happy to be able to help from the bounds of her wheelchair.
Kristina set us rolling on 3 main tasks to help clean up the playground. First we were scraping moss and dirt off of the tarmac of one section. Before using half moons to try and locate the edge of the tarmac area.
The 2nd task was to clear the overgrown fence of grass and weeds plus some hay that had formed around the base of the fence. With one particularly nettley patch near a bike rack. Mike and Emma worked tirelessly to trim one section, but were slightly embarrassed to find out they were supposed to the whole fence!
3rd task was taken to by some unruly run leaders and Taskforce members who had to fight (not successfully) their urge to play on the playground. Becky had to be reminded to put the shears down before you walk across the rope bridge! There was much discussion on the quality (and lack therefore) of some of the shears provided.
"I've got two tools, I'm feeling quite manly" Mike, clearly having the time of his life.
The 3rd task were successful at trimming all the weeds and grass down on the playground trail. Opening up a whole new section of the playground up for children to use!
Quick photo and we were off back home for a quick cool down stretch. Job well done everyone. Special thanks to returning Rachel and Emma, first timer Jack, and first timer at York Jackie!
