On a lovely summer's evening, we didn't have to head too far out of town to complete our task today. 14 GoodGym Coventry runners ran 4km to deliver 500 leaflets and bags for Coventry Cyrenians.

Once at our location, we split in to four teams initially named after left or right of centre and odd and even numbers, however this soon got complicated and traditional names were used. Keen to win, the even teams completed their drops first on round one, as the round progressed competition hotted up but although it was tight the winners were Natalie, Laura P and Meera.

Having completed the task in super speedy time and delivering all of our bags, we headed back in to town exploring some local history on the way-Whitefriars, initially built in 1342! Plus a bit of wildlife.

Our fitness session was 200m reps followed by exercises chosen by the winning team. Nigel gave Damian a run for his money on the reps, pushing right till the very end, Nigel if there were 6 reps, you'd have got him!

The exercises chosen by the winners, were star jumps, step ups, tricep dips and Squate- using the beautiful horse shaped benches :)

Having worked hard and done good, we headed back to Drapers whilst the sun was still shining.

Have a good week and bank holiday weekend all, Liz x
