Once again we were back at school, this time 8 of us set to paint the rainbow and cheer up a part of the world.
Setting off from Grandcentral LifeLiesure, we had our usual warm up session then started a rather long run 4km to BroadstoneHall Primary school. We were at the school a few weeks ago to paint the undercoat this time we were adding some colour. We were greeted by the head teacher Simon Langley, who had been busy before we got there and had already painted the tops of the gazebo's a rather fetching pink, good job sir!
Simon had been really organised and got all the paints and tools need for the job ready, we just needed to get the job done, and get the job done we did. And it looked lovely, really colourful, magic in the early evening light.
This weeks run we were joined by Megan from BBC5 to see what we were all about, so we all had to put on our posh voices for the mini interviews. She did a great job of painting and took the run in her stride, Thanks Megan for coming along, really looking forward to listening to the radio piece when its aired. It was great to see Simone and Hannah back with us, this time Simone managed to paint more of the gazebo and less of herself, which was a bonus! Anne however was a differnt story and was also a very fetching pink colour!
Thank you to all the Stockport Goodgym crew, the school gazebo looked awesome, full of colour and vibrant, a lovely area for the kids to sit and had lunch or play, cant wait to see the reaction of the children after ninja night painters that have been, we are like the tooth fairy, just more colourful. As ever we got lots done in a short amount of time, and it really did look great. This week there we had to run back and so had not time for school sports day fun, however a new "thing" we are going to do it a exercise at every set of lights we have to wait at...........great idea from Ivo (founder of Goodgym) its one we will now being everyweek, hahahaha.
Dont forget that next week im not here, you will have the lovely Liverpool Goodgym run leader Char, look after her, and have fun!
Happy running folks,
