WOW!!!!! Think we had our biggest turn out last night. Goodgymers just kept arriving for the "Old English Garden" run. We welcomed new faces Tom and Rich. You were brilliant last night and I really hoped you enjoyed it. After our run briefing and warm up it wasn't long till we were heading down through the beautiful Danso Park. Thanks Susan for looking after the lead runners 🙌🏻 As we arrived at the gardens we were great with smiles from two lovely Old English Garden volunteers. In fact they were so please by the amount of runners we brought along that they quickly organised a second area that needed doing also. Bosh👊🏻 Two tasks, one run. We smashed it Bexley.

Bosh👊🏻 Two tasks, one run. We smashed it Bexley!!

We soon grabbed our weapons of choice, and after a safety briefing we were off. Cutting and clipping, sweeping, but most of all chatting, laughing and smiling. Well what can I say........ within 40 mins we had transformed the area. 5 extra large bags had been filled and wheel borrowed to what was once an empty compost area. With everyone beeming with a real Sense of achievement we were rewarded with a very welcomed refreshment. This was a perfect time for our group photos 😁. Another mention from this has to go to Sarah who volunteered to get busy on our social media sites. Be sure to checkout our instagram page as she's doing a fab job. The photos and videos really bring out an extra smile from our evening. With everyone now ready to run back to base with most of them saying that the sweeping and cutting etc was their workout for the evening. WRONG!!! We're Bexley Goodgymers. We go that extra mile. OK, alright it wasn't an extra mile, but it was one of my cone sprint and workout drills 😂 They're a pleasure, pain experience but oh are so good for your running development 🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻 With all that done and dusted, It was a fast as you can run back to Basecamp Crooklog for the finish of another fun filled Goodgym Monday. 👉🏻 See you all next week 👈🏻
