I Believe I can Flyer... I believe we can touch the Sky...er!!

13 GoodGymers made their way 8.0km to help their local community in Bath.

: Led by Bath runner

A perfect evening for a scenic on average 8k run along the canal to do a spot of flyering for Dry-arch growers in fact 320 to be precise, helping to promote their community allotment scheme. A fabulous 13 runners turned up tonight with one lovely lady, none other than Run leader

Pascale on her 50th Good deed ... whoop!!! Black T Shirt on its way.

A few shout outs tonight during warm up and headcount for those who raced at the weekend

Races Bristol 10k Jo young 52.26 -PB Joe kenward 43.59 -PB

Shakespeare's Marathon Alison 3:58 ( this lady just keeps on running)

Stroud trail Marathon Pascale 4:39 and she took loads of beautiful scenic pictures

Time for the off with Steph leading and Pascale back marking. We set out through Sydney gardens to join onto the canal path for a flat (nice change) run out to Bathampton. The faster ones in the group got chance for some tempo running and looping, a stretch of Indian file (Canadian relay) for some extra speed work and they even managed to run past the pub at the end. Well done!!

Splitting into groups and armed with flyers our two teams took to the streets, tackling both sides to ensure no letter box was missed and aren't some of those letterboxes viscous (I don't mean the runners) but thankfully

no fingers were lost during the making of this task

No time to stand still on this task but lots of fun and a great workout for a worthy cause. Some of the runners clocking up over 11k and there was no stopping Steve who just seemed to have no stop button, wish I could borrow his legs when I race. We made our way back along the Warminster road with one final sprint for those who wanted to along Great Pultney street, just enough time for our group Boomerang before stretching out.

Well done everyone!! Another great task bites the dust at Goodgym Bath. Feel very proud to be part of an amazing group of lovely people... cheers.

Thanks to Sam for tonight's pun

Good luck to everyone racing in Riga this weekend or racing anywhere else, let me know how you get on.

A reminder just a week left to sign up for the Goodgym Olympics, let's show them how the West Country rock. We could enjoy a little day trip on the coach https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/goodgym-olympics
