Tonight summed up what Goodgym is.

Firstly we welcomed new and returning members. Well done and I hope you enjoyed your first Goodgym run Holly and welcome back Rosie. A brilliant start to the evening and a continuation of the great running news from the weekend after the Boxted 10k where 6 Colchester Goodgym participants took part in a hilly, warm race.

The persistent rain of the day had lightened and we managed to warm up and run to Level Best Art Cafe without a soaking. Once there we were met by Alison's friendly face who asked us to clean chairs and other details around the cafe. With 20 of us the task was completed in record time and Alison kindly told us about the latest work that Level Best are doing with adults with additional learning needs and a bit of interesting history about Darcy House and the mysterious staircase that leads to nowhere! We gave Alison a big round of applause and off we trotted with a little extra spring in our steps.

After the main event it was time for the much anticipated social just round the corner at Three Wise Monkey...or should we say Twenty Wise Goodgymers?

Food, drink and merriment.

A BIG thank you from me for the great numbers we are getting. MARVELOUS!
