Report written by Sam Ollason
This week we were flyering for Send a Cow. There were 14 of us that ran around Holloway and Bear Flat in Bath and we delivered over 750 flyers! We had lots of fun and got some fantastic mid-week exercise on this 7km run.
Welcome Charlotte!
We met at our usual meeting spot at the Leisure Centre. Although the nights are getting lighter, at the moment we still meet inside in the warm and dry reception area. We welcomed a new runner, Charlotte, to the team. Chartlotte was keen to come along and see what GoodGym is all about and we are always keen to have new people join us! After our announcements, we completed a good warm-up to prepare us for the hilly running ahead.
An udder cow pun!
Send a Cow is a charity that do lots of development work in Africa. They have been working with communities there for over 30 years. We were asked to deliver flyers advertising their charity places in the RideLondon event. This is a 100 miles cycle ride around London and surrounding countryside. If you are interested in a getting place a half-price place through Send a Cow then take a look at their website.
No cow-ards at GoodGym!
We split into two groups for this flyering task. I lead a group of runners partly up Wellsway and we worked through the residential streets back towards The Bear. Emily kindly volunteered to lead another group around Holloway, Carlton Gardens and the lower parts of Bear Flat. The group managed to deliver all of their flyers in a great time and then ran up to Bear Flat to meet us.
A herd of GoodGym runners!
On our way back to the Leisure Centre we also managed to drop the final few flyers in houses along Wells Road and Pultney Road. How efficient!
Running is good for the calfs!
Thanks to Emily for leading a group and thanks to Chris L for backmarking for my group! Thanks to Chris D for the awesome pun this week (inspired by the fact that we have worked with Send a Cow several times over the last few months!)
