Marriotts of Fire

It was the warmest day of the year so far and bank holiday Monday... most people were in a beer garden or having a BBQ but not us lot, we were out to do good in the community.

The compete other end of the spectrum to last Monday where it was 20 degrees cooler and chucking it down with rain. One thing that didn't change however is the hard work and dedication the GoodGym-ers put in to the tasks in hand.

I enjoyed being able to meet up outside of The Forum for a change rather keeping in the indoors!

Congratulations to Jasmine for completing her 1st Parkrun at the weekend and to Sam for completing a Half Marathon! It's fantastic to see everyone progressing.

Tonight we had a short 1km run each way to Marriott's Way to do a litter pick. Bill was back runner. As per our previous visits there, there was going to be plenty of litter to collect.

We didn't have a sharp's box this week so needles to say we were going to leave any of those alone!

The GoodGym-ers got into pairs with a litter picker and bin bag and off they went on a litter scavenger hunt. Some located an area that was previously occupied by the homeless so there was more than plenty of mess to clear up there.

It was interesting walking around chatting to everyone... some discovered my most hated words... never use 'Brunch' or 'Bespoke' in my presence haha.

We brought back all the litter to the starting point... then tried to create a vehicle out of an ironing board and bicycle wheels!

Then off we went to run up Grapes Hill before finishing with a 4-minute HIIT outside The Forum.

Bill and Katy handed out their home grown rhubarb :-)

Next week we're visiting Eaton Park.
