It's my birthday and I'll run if I want to

This evening's group run marked 3 years since the first ever GoodGym group run in Warwick and Leamington Spa!

To celebrate 4 Goodgymers ran to the Heathcote Community Centre to help with some weeding and a litter pick.

It was a good run to the Centre with a gentle incline to challenge our legs on the way there. Upon arrival we were provided with tools and bin bags and set to work. Allan was keen to exercise his litter picking skills in the car park area which never fails to provide lots of litter to be picked. The most interesting item this evening being a full sized patio brolly...

Philip multi-tasked, starting first on weeding the path outside the Centre and then lending Allan a hand with the litter picking. James gave the task his usual gusto, adding about a foot to the width of the path by clearing the grass that had started to encroach on the area along with lots of the weeds outside the entrance to the Centre.

With litter picked, paths cleared and all the rubbish bagged up, it was time to head back to the pump rooms. This time we could enjoy the incline as we were running down the hill, finishing off with a quick sprint to the finish via the bandstand.

It was great to have a catch up with familiar faces and chat about upcoming races that people are either running, marshalling, or both!
