What’s the connection between Barbie and an old Arrowhead. The answer is this weeks GoodGym Barnet group run!

A goodgym group run is a great way to get perspective on life and what better way than to start in a barbie saturated cinema, run to an ancient woodland, (where they had found a 4000-year-old Arrowhead) and then help to protect the trees by rebuilding fences.

We gathered at the cinema which was covered in pink balloons to celebrate the arrival of the film. Then warmed up, introduce ourselves, before setting off on the 1.5 km to the woods where we met Linda.

During her introduction, she mentioned the fact that they had recently found an arrowhead, which dates between 1500, BC and 4000 BC. She then went on to explain how we would rebuild some of the forest fences. We got to work as the sun started to set and by the time we had finished and set off back to the cinema, it was twilight. We had enough time to do some shorts sprints before a warm down outside the cinema. Some of us then went for some light refreshments in the cinema café.

Thanks for coming, running, doing some good and maybe shifting your perspective for the better!

Give a shout out to our new runners… Alefiyah Megan
