This week we returned to Livingstone Infant School and to a teacher who has also been a Goodgym Runner!

Kirsty met us at the task (cycled down - Kudos) to give us the directions - The task was to paint a colourful but tired looking fence. We had grey paint and lots of keen members and so we were off!

Alun joined us for the first time with his wife, Sue. They walked down and walked back so great to get the exercise in! We really hope to see you next week and in future at tasks - Either walking there or part drive / part walk!

Christine did a 1.5 mile run in and then back again so took the opportunity to enjoy the hills of parkstone!

After we had been at the task for 45 mins, we decided to finish one side and complete the section on the other, we will be returning next week and hope we can bring more Goodgym people to complete the task and also move some items around the playground.

Great to all have a good natter as we painted, something that we all missed in Lockdown - Having real good conversations with people - Be it about running or our own lifes.

Patricia, Esther, Elizabeth and Robert headed off to a local rec ground for a couple of short intervals. Elizabeth showing that she is the queen of speed and leaving the rest of us behind within a matter of feet! We ran together around the area, leaving Pat near her car and then Liz before heading home. Sadly already in the dark! Jane also managed to fit a bit of running in so a full team effort of activity for tonight!

We will be back next week - Paint brushes ready (and in my case - full overalls too I think!) ready for more social distancing painting!
