Pace of spades

Tonight's run looked like it was going to be a wet affair but thankfully the rain ebbed away giving our 10 Bath lovelies a sweet 5k run out to a residential home for Bath Mind providing support for people with long term mental health issues and with this being national mental health awareness week it was a pleasure to help out.

A very warm welcome tonight to Bethan who discovered us through Goodgym Plymouth it`s great we have such a close network at Goodgym. After a warm up outside the leisure centre with intro to the group and headcount and Ellen kindly back marking tonight. We made our way out towards our task location and took advantage of a re group with some leg strengthening squats ( not forgetting to pulse the movement....Oh Yeah!) Feel the burn. Wall press ups followed with some star jumps before arriving at our destination bang on time.

A very well organised host to meet us (apologies I forgot his name)and he soon had the group organised with Joseph Rachel Helen and Bethan tackled the gravel that needed clearing from the top path and Pascale and team taking charge of the lower path. Emily and Anne taking charge of digging over the veg patch with some help from Beth and Ellen and Rosie made light work of sweeping down the steps leading to the back garden after her heavy gym session before arriving tonight.

In total we devoted 40 minutes on tonight`s task. Filling bags with gravel and giving the path a good old sweep down and making that veg patch ready for replanting. We managed to grab a group photo and our lovely hosts tonight gave us a thank you card for our efforts... such a nice thought. They were blown away by how much we achieved and amazed with idea of Goodgym, so of course we invited them to join us one night soon.

Thankfully we didn't find another Bath Bomb from WW2.

Time to say goodbye with the promise to return very soon before we took to the riverside heading back to the leisure centre for a stretch out and reminder to bring your ID if you wish to be paired up.

Thanks guys for coming tonight and helping us do more Goodgym Goodness in Bath.
