Mind Over (dirty) Matter

After a warm up, head count and welcoming Emma in to the GoodGym fold for her first group run our fifteen fabulous and fit runners took the scenic route along the canal en route to Oldfield Park.

The sun was shining, balloons took to the skies & tales of Eagle Owls were shared as we mindfully meandered up to our task hosts - Bath Mind.

This organisation works to improve the lives of people suffering from mental health problems and tonight we worked to make their gardens a tidier and cleaner place for their residents.

Splitting off in to two task forces to tackle the front and back gardens it took a mere matter of minutes before we were then regrouped and collectively mind-mapped the local area for other places that might be in need of a GoodGym clear up.

Thanks to Nicola for suggesting Moorland Memorial Park for a quick litter pick and to Jo for returning a rogue shopping basket to its rightful place across the road at Co-op.

A jaunt back along the riverside including some sprint reps and loop backs for those wanting some speed training and we were back to base for some cool down stretches and to hatch a plan to head to the pub.

Thanks to Lydia for getting us out socialising tonight, we'll do the same next Thursday night, 27th April, for Pub Quiz at The Boater.

Big thank you to Mary for back marking and of course a shout-out to Steph who's on her holidays.

If you would like to be paired up with a run coach or to join us on GoodGym missions then please do bring your documents to be checked at the next group run.

Have a great rest of the week, hope it includes some more running and getting inspired by the London Marathon.
