A wonderful weekend with lots of beautiful sunshine.

We arrived Friday afternoon and after dropping our luggage off we headed into York for food and fun....finished off with a ghost walk.....

Saturday morning Hilary was up and out early to parkrun. Graham and Rosa headed out of town to watch a very important bowls match. Brad and Tim went to the uni to collect their races numbers The rest of us headed to the Railway museum.....and interesting to see a display about the Flying Scotsman as we had seen it at Kings Cross on Friday. and after lunch a visit to Jorvik Centre

Sadly Hilary decided not to race due to it-band strain so became our cheer leader

Graham was off first as our marathon representative.

The rest of us waited in the sunshine for the starter to call us 10milers to the start line....and then off we set.

A really well supported race and lots of Goodgym shouts outs and wonderful to see GoodGym York at the water station.

All races finished and headed off for a well earned roast.

Another great weekend in a great city.
