Tonight's run was a chilly one but that didn`t put off our hardy Goodgym Bath runners from taking on the challenge of a task on the Go with a spot of Flyering in the aid of The Sport relief Mile that is taking place at Odd Down Sports ground in which people can take part by Running or Walking either 1, 3 or 6 miles to help people living incredibly tough lives at home and abroad.

A super Seven runners managed to get around 400 homes in the local area covering 4.5k in total whilst on the move, splitting each street by forming two groups tonight with Ali, Jess and Miriam tackling the left and Emily, Irena and Ellen moving it along on the right. Don`t forget to shut the gate ! was heard from every directions.

We had a lot of ground to cover tonight for this great cause helping the community to get fit whilst doing good , so a bit like Goodgym really. Moving clockwise around the Odd Down community making sure everyone knows Sport relief is happening in their area so they can come along a join in or support on the day.

After our mission was complete the group arrived back on site with 20 minutes to spare and a chance at (their own risk) to have a go at cycling on the circuit, A great place used by people of all abilities in Bath. It was also a chance for the group to meet with Steph`s colleague Felix who loves to cycle rather a lot and take on many crazy challenges.

Great work tonight with Ali proving to be the fastest postman in the west. Those of you who are familiar with Benny Hill will be singing now, (I guess it`s just me then :-).

look forward to seeing you all next week.
