All hail GoodGym Cardiff
Being prepared is about expecting the unexpected. And today, unexpectedly, the unexpected that we expected happened, Unfortunately the YMCA couldn't have us help there this evening.
Let's get warmed up
Runners ran up and down the street outside Big Moose, touching the wall by Trespass and then Prince Harry. Runners then did butt kicks, high knees and some old style 90's dance moves to get warmed up.
We run as one!
We headed to the Samye Foundation as a group, Ben led the way and Emma backmarked. Seconds after we started running it started hailing.
The good deeds this week
This week Mikey and Welsh Dave were leading plogs. 'Litter'ally the best people for the job! Ben looked after the runners helping at the Samye Foundation.
A message from Lorraine
Unfortunately Lorraine couldn't be at the Samye Foundation this evening to give us our tasks, however Lorraine had wrote out a list of tasks for us to complete. There is a picture of the tasks she had for us in the slide show above. Unfortunately, due to mother nature, we were unable to do much of the painting tasks.
Our tasks this evening included:
- Hoovering the office and stairwell in the first building
- Installing tarpaulin on the shed in the back garden
- Weeding
- Tidying the side of the building and more!
Whilst some of the walkers/runners were doing this at Mindfulness centre, Mikey and Welsh Dave both set off leading 2 separate groups to litterpick the streets of Riverside and Pontcanna. They managed to collect over 5 bags of litter combined - What a superb effort!
That's a wrap!
After helping out for 25 minutes the time had come for us to run off and back to Big Moose. After arriving back the time had come to warm back.
After the run, as per usual, walkers/runners headed to the Glassworks pubs for drinkypoos.
