Oh yes!! Finally spring has sprung on Goodgym Bath and what a beautiful day it was for our first group run in the light... whoop!!

A 5k run tonight for 15 fighting fit Goodgymers to weed and tidy a community garden at the top of Park street, positioned to perfection at the top of a steep hill.

Disappointed to still be injured but it's still all systems go with the lovely Pascale leading out this evening and Emily back marking, Thanks so much for your support ladies.

A few hills on the way out but as I always say what goes up must come down, so guaranteed to feel easier on the way back after all that hard work. I almost feel no need for hill reps tonight.

We had the added pleasure of Claire this evening doing some nifty camera work of the group in action.

Virginia and Lyn were ready and waiting for us and gave an overview of the community Guerrilla garden and the many users to the site, from encouraging young children to come along and get involved with their parents to older people looking to fill some time and enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Lyn soon had everyone digging and clearing weeds and unwanted plants starting from the top and working our way down the side of the footpath, some stubborn roots going on here but as always

no task to difficult for Goodgym.

Lots of chatting and laughter tonight during our 35 minute digging frenzy before grabbing our group Boomerang shot, Sorry everyone!!! Little things and all that.. ha!!! Just finished as it started to rain.

Still lots left to do on site but with the hardest part done tonight we will aim to achieve two tasks next week and "kill two birds with one stone" as the saying goes.

A nice downhill on the way back to the leisure centre for everyone finishing off along the riverbank and a little bit of competitive sprinting to polish the evening off.

A reminder of monthly quiz social on Thursday at 8pm The Boater, hope to see you there.

This could be a good opportunity to bring your documents for ID checks if you wish to be paired up or go on missions.

Thanks everyone for the amazing spirit and support, you really are the A team.
