Wowza, definitely a temperature drop for last nights good gym but just brilliant weather for running in. After our warm up we headed out the long way covering around 4K to Welling library for some planting, hedge trimming, and a general tidy up. On arrival we split into 3 teams. Team one got busy out the front putting soil in the flower beds, followed by the plants and then topping with some bark. Team two got busy at the back of the library trimming back the untidy hedges, pulling up the weeds, and general rubbish pick up. Team three were busy with the brooms. Giving the side alley, side path, and the front of the building a good sweeping. Its nothing short of satisfying when you have completed the task set and it looks really awesome.

Whats so great about Monday nights at Bexley Goodgym is the group adventure. I call it an adventure because thats exactly what it is. We turn up for the run, you don't know what route is planned. You head out for the task, and you don't really know what to expect. We chat about it on the run there, you bond with your Goodgym buddies and basically the saying "Time Fly's when you're having fun" really does spring to mind. The run back is then chatting about what we've just achieved. What an awesome way to spend a Monday evening.......... So if you've been reading our posts and been umming and arrring about coming along JUST DO IT! ** You'll love it.......... Quick shout before i sign off. Good Luck to **Susan as she goes on her Run Leader course this Sunday. You're gonna smash it :-) Have a great week Goodgmers.......
