Shiver me (mashed up) Timbers!!

10 battle hardened GoodGymers braved the elements to create 80 metres of mulch path in Clissold Park!

We negative 3 and with a wind chill of -5 those who didn’t know how amazing GoodGymers are may have thought that no one will show up but 10 well wrapped up runners came to party!!

Avoiding the setting icy paths and sticking to the main roads to minimise our icy encounters we motored our way the 4k to Clissold Park to meet Park Manager Quentin. Luckily a fair amount of tools had been left out for us to get cracking straight on without the trek to the lock up. Hitting a nice early rhythm we had a two pronged attack going on attacking from the North and South to create path making glory! Actually we were much faster in the arctic cold than the pouring rain on our last visit. Once we cracked the frosty surface of the mulch there was no stopping us go!!

Working at a warmth inducing pace we managed to complete the rest of the long straight we have been working on for 3 visits!!

With the path looking great we headed back to base navigating the 4k run back. Big thanks to Dominique for helping to carry all the kit back to the lock up!! Gave everyone else a more manageable run back!

Next week we will be taking a visit to Gascoyne Estate to help the community garden with a fresh delivery of soil!

Best of luck to everyone in the Big Half on Sunday!! We are all 100% behind you and a load of us will be there cheering you on!! If you want to maximise your cheers I would recommend wearing your GoodGym tops to run in!!

Have a great week

Smooth Running
