Thirteen wonderful Goodgymers rocked up at Leisureworld for running, outdoor tasks and fun! First-up the news and what awesome news there was. Vanessa recorded a new race PB. Alex amazed us with his qualification to swim the channel later in the year and Stalwart Bob has reached his HUNDREDTH task with Goodgym. Now that is a lot of Good.

On this balmy evening we warmed up with star-jumps, leg raises and squats all tied together with a weaving run. We set off on our run to the task at Worsnop House over the bridge and into the park towards East Hill. Past the swans and moorhens we made our way up Brook Street to the Rec and Worsnop House. We were met by two residents who kindly showed us around the grounds for our clearing up task. We managed to fill bags for refuse and recycle as well as reclaim an old skateboarding dream, its amazing what you can find when you look in the bushes!

Back at base, we enjoyed doughnuts and strawberries, courtesy of Katherine, thank you and Happy Birthday!

Join us next week for more goodtimes and goodfun!
