Tonight was our yearly Halloween run.

Michael had promised that if others came in some kind of costume, he would wear the inflatable dinosaur costume.

We met at our usual start location in the City Centre, after a quick chat we welcomed our newest person Deborah, who had joined us at a goodgym run at Love Trails.

CROESO

After a brief moment inflating, and some strange looks from the pub behind us, it was time to set off on our run.

We had cheers of dinosaur, t-rex, there were beeping cars and lots of waves. Maybe we should have a T-Rex more often.

The task tonight was helping at Cwtch Together, a charity run disability play project, which promotes inclusive play and socialisation for disabled children and their families.

They are holding 2 Halloween parties, Friday and Saturday, and our fun task was to help set up the spooktacular event.

Everyone got into the spirit as we dressed tables, got pumpkins ready, built a play house, decorated the hall and carried in sand pits and black boards.

As we ended our evening with the usual group photo, the t-rex returned for the jog back.

Join us next week as we begin our Xmas tasks for 3 weeks.

Goodgym Cardiff Met as usual for our Tuesday group session, outside the Glassworks. Our destination was over to Sport Wales, where we would pick up anyone meeting at the task. Our task, a final farewell litterpick to the Summer, and boy did it get dark fast... Running lights needed next week.

We made our way into the depths of the park, over to the rugby car park, up to Western Avenue and back again to the start. It was quite a distance for the litterpick, but we cleaned up.

And Now

A quick ditty from Bugsy Malone,

We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
And I'm not saying we should
But if we tried it, we'd learn to abide it
We could be the best at being good
....

See you next time.

5 Goodgym folks ran, walked and cycled to St. Dyfrig and Samson church to help finish painting their railings.

Goodgym visited a few weeks ago, so we were here to get the remaining railings painted from blue to black!

"I tell you what I want, what I raily raily want"

Su, and Emma W took the inside and Darren, Emma P and Michael the outside. We were joined by some of the lovely church volunteers. The Reverand also popped by to kindly thank us for our efforts.

We chatted away happily whilst we..... 'paint it black', learning all about about the church and activities.

As a group we made quick work of the side railings and by the time we left the job was complete! Everyone was delighted, they said "We were 'even better than the 'rail thing'."

The sun was setting so there was 'no rail slim shady' left, we ran back to the pub for a well earned drink.
