10 of us braved the cold and wet weather to deliver flyers for Send a Cow. We deliverd all around Oldfield Park to advertise their charity places in the Royal Parks Half Marathon later this year. We worked hard to deliver a massive 800 flyers between us!

Welcome Rachel and Libby!

After we met at the Leisure Centre, we welcomed two new runners to the group. It was great to have both of you along and we hope you will join us again soon for more fun GoodGym tasks!!

Moooving on up

We were due to be doing another task this evening, but due to unforseen circumstances we had to change plans at late notice. Fortunately for us, the team at Send a Cow are always keen to have us flyer for them, so I picked up a huge box of 800 flyers from their offices just outside of Bath before the run.

Send a Cow is a charity that helps develop communities in Africa. They provide training in farming and tackle social issues such as gender inequality throughout the continent. They were founded just outside of Bath and still have their main offices there. So it was great to help a local charity with an international reach.

Not an-udder cow pun!

We were flyering to advertise their charity places in the Royal Parks Half Marathon being held later this year. This flyering is a key way for them to advertise their charity places in this event and also spread awareness about the great work that they do.

We are udderly brilliant!

We set off from the Leisure Centre and ran along Lower Bristol Road to Oldfield Park. We meandered our way around the resedential area of Lower Oldfield Park and flyered to all houses in sight! We ended up heading down Junction Road towards Wellsway and ran down the hill back to the Leisure Centre.

Running puts is in a good mooooood!

There was some fantastic team work on display last night as runners were coordinating between each other to cover both sides of the roads in the most effective manner to make sure we completed the job without double-flyering doors. Good work team!

GoodGym happens early in the evening ... it's not past-ure bedtime!

In total, we managed to deliver a whopping 800 flyers, despite the rain and wind trying to dampen our spirits. Great work for a Tuesday evening!

Thanks

Thanks to Alison for backmarking for us. The pun this week was a collaborative effort between lots of the group - so thanks everyone!
