LONG LIVE THE LEAF 🎵🍂🎵🍂🎵🍂

24 terrific GoodGymmers ran 8k to clear leaves at Friary Park.

Meeting at the Phoenix, we were joined by Annie, Elizabeth and Mumtaz for their first GG runs. Welcome!

We were also joined by Chi (you know what that means), Danny to plug the Adidas city run volunteering this weekend (get involved if you can guys!), and Rob who only ran the flipping Athens MARATHON on Sunday! He brought his medal to show off too - great work Rob.

After a few introductions and a quick warm up we set off with Vicki kindly back marking. Sarah led a Party Pace group along just behind.

It's quite a long run, with plenty of hills, but we got through it in no time. Meeting Richard and his other volunteers we were put to work. Using rakes and scoops fashioned from old cardboard boxes we got to work tackling the huge piles of leaves gathering on the paths and around the play area.

We cleared so many leaves guys. It was a great effort and we'll look forward to coming back to do some more soon.

After some thank yous, a small group led by Rob set off early while the rest of us stayed for chi's #absontour training session. We only had three minutes but that was plenty... Thanks Chi!

From there we set off for the run back to base, high fives and stretches. Thanks for coming everyone - see you soon. D
