Goodgym runners have the "bottle" and "can" do it!

What a scorcher! I don't know about you, but that was the hottest GG run i've ever done! Well done to everyone that braved the heat. And to our lovely regulars that could'nt make it for lot's of different reasons, we missed you and hope to see you very soon. After congratulating Carlos on his amazing ultra run at the weekend, 9 of us armed with litter pickers and bin liners headed off for a short run to the canal. Lucky for us it was completely shaded so that made our task a lot more bearable. I was so surprised to be stopped by three people congratulating us and thanking us for our good work. One chap was asking how to join Goodgym, so hopefully we will see him soon. After collecting 10 bags of litter we decided to head over to Bede Park and do our fitness session on the outdoor gym whilst incorporating our GG challenge by taking it in turns to run around the park for 1k. Once again people were stopping us to say thank you, including a man from the Riverside Trust. On our run we couldnt help but notice huge amounts of litter around the edge of the park, even more than along the canal. So in true Leicester GG style we picked it up! Then we headed onto the crowded park itself. Again we got some thank you's, and probably a few funny looks. It's beyond me how people can have a bbq then just get up and leave all their rubbish behind. I think you'll agree that we made a huge difference tonight. A great evening was rounded off with a well deserved ice lolly. See you all next week :)
