4 Goodgymers brushed off those 2023 cobwebs bright and early to go leaping forth into 2024 with their first good deed of the year - helping at Coventry Parkrun.

By 8.10 pre event set-up was well underway with the race director giving clear directions to our motley crew of bleary-eyed helpers. Thankfully most of the set-up was based around the start/finish line with cones, red tape and signs being the main tasks at hand. Many hands made light work though and despite a few attempts at correctly putting out the cones and tape lining the start area, everything was in place ready for the hoards to arrive.

We were then joined by other Goodgym faces by way of Laura P, Lil and the rather interestingly attired Becky of previous Warwick and Leamington fame fashioning her latest marathon outfit for practise.

It was lovely to catch up with everyone after the holidays and enjoy a trot/wade around the park too. We were even blessed with a brief appearance of sunshine, a very rare occurrence of late. Fingers crossed James's feet weren't too muddy after also helping with barcode scanning on a very soggy patch of grass...
