Last night we could feel the shift in the weather but as they say the show must go on!

We welcomed Gemma to her first group run, she found out a about goodgym while browsing instagram, she informed me that she was interested as goodgym did two of the things she liked, running and helping people. If you have not cheered her as yet please click on her name above and give her some cheer.

Most of our task at St Augustine's are normally in the outdoor area but last night's was different, we finally managed to bag an indoor task and quite fitting too as the weather was somewhat a bit colder.

The safety tape on the edge of the stairs leading to (hell) only joking the basement (good doers like us are always on the rise to the pearly gates) had lost it's grip and was a trip hazard for the users. Bill had removed the old tape but asked for our assistance in putting on the new tape.

A job like this for one person is quite time consuming but with 7 GoodGym members we were to get the job done in a timely manner.

There was another task for us to assist with however due to the room being used by another group we were not able to get access to the room, we will have to return at a later date to complete this task.

Bill was very thankful for our help, he had also provide some snack for us at the end, we were truly blessed.

Bless us father we have done thy work to a goodgym standard

On accomplishing our goal we were able to:

Not slip up;

Take it one step at a time;

Stick to the step;

Step in the right direction;

Prevent others from backsliding.
