Marian's surprise Gerry run

On one of the hottest May days on record two Redbridge Goodgymmers braved the heat and assembled at base for another adventure in the Wanstead area. Extra credit goes to Kathryn for running 10+ miles on her birthday weekend in training for Hackney Half AND come out for a group run on a bank holiday as well!

As it sometimes goes with well made plans, there are days it just isn't meant to be. So the plan to visit 'our' allotment turned into an improvised plan to tidy up Marians beds around the tube station, there is always some rubbish to clear up. However when we got there, Marian herself popped up from behind some bushes! She just got there with one of her Wanstead Community Gardeners colleagues to do some planting and was very happy to see some unexpected help pop up in the shape of us two. Especially when it turned out the geraniums to be planted were matching the red of our Goodgym shirts it was clear this was meant to be!

8 or so 'gerry's' later we left a happy Marian behind to finish a bit more planting & bed maintenance to go for a little stroll in the sunshine. Keeping the hot weather in mind the distance was perhaps a bit less than usual, but it did include a visit to a possible future group run / mission for the WCG - watch this space! With the sun setting, two hot goodgymmers arrived back at base with faces matching their shirts for some post run stretching and cool down.

Next week our trainer James will be back to lead the group run, sign up here to join us on another adventure!
