Branching out in Bath

Ten super committed runners at Goodgym Bath tonight taking to the streets for our task on the go visiting Doctors surgeries in and around the city with various flyers including The Big Sleep out for the homeless from Julian house and Befriending flyers from Age uk. this was an 8k run in total. As we all had different strava readings we decided to opt for the middle of the road.

Our first stop tonight was Bath Library where we decided to get on down with those squats, great to strengthen the legs for those doing Bath Half next month. The only way down was on the escalator ( hence the photo) they aren't a lazy bunch I promise. We raised a few smiles which is always good to see.

The first Doc stop was at Catherine place where the group split up and sprint to find the right door to get posting those flyers with Hermione and team completing the mission here, before heading up the hill to st James`s surgery with Suzy, Kenta and Charles opting for the hill sprint to make their delivery.

Next we headed out for a nice long stretch towards Weston to make a delivery of flyers at the Hospital, where we took time for a regroup and a chance to take advantage of some tricep dips before our next jolly jaunt to the local surgery at Weston. Steph gave the group some Turkish lessons saying Hello , Goodbye and ordering two beers, it`s all you need to know surely !!

We left the farthest point of our run tonight and headed back down towards the city centre but always having Health and safety in mind on route, the Bath team removed a huge branch that was blocking the pavement and carried it to a safe resting place in the nearby cemetery. It`s nice to think we could have prevented someone from a fall tonight.

Just one more stop and delivery to make on the way back to the leisure centre and it just so happens a nicely placed low wall for some step ups and some strange looks from passers-by. We made it back to the leisure centre with 5 minutes to spare and a chance for some well deserved stretches after a great long run and a reminder to bring your ID if you wish to gain your very own running Coach.

It has to be said I`ve not had the best day after locking my keys and all in my car with the only solution being a 10 mile walk (dog in hand) to gain access to my car again but thankfully all good now with a super run and task with great people.

Thank you guys as you made my day :-)
