Despite the weather tonight a super keen 13 runners came along and our starting point for the evening was St Johns church in Bathwick street a target spot for some litter picking.

A very warm welcome to Bee and James joining us for their first Gg run, Bee after her first introduction post quiz night social, plus it means some RED LACES for Lucy so a win win situation.

Perfect to run with at least one hill (we are in Bath after all) so with warm up out of the way we ventured along to Pultney street for some sprint 3's to really wake those legs up. Out first litter pick spot was St Johns church, we didn't bank on finding a pigeon and for a moment our resident vet Nicola thought it was still alive but alas it was too late. James got lucky too finding a child's musical book and a pair of pliers. Steve almost vanished to the pub but had a change of heart (he was after all chief bag carrier for his team). Then on to hedge mead park ... A STEP OR TWO in the right direction to see what rich pickings my little troops could collect up.

Enough time left for some strength and toning in the form of a circuit session. A few grunts and groans but everything is good with Goodgym Bath and the aim to have the BEST BUNS IN BATH .. It's what we're famous for, don't you know.

Thanks to Steve for tonight's pun and Mary our lovely back marker keeping everyone safe at the rear.

If you wish to get your very own isolated older person to keep you motivated on a run, speak to myself or Emily and we will make it happen.

Well after all that rain yesterday I guess our 18 Goodgym runners were lucky not to swimming the 7k out to tonight's task at aptly named WATERY LANE for Action on Hearing Loss.

The very talented Pascale took the lead on tonight's run with her interpreter skills for the deaf. We are possibly the only Goodgym who can accommodate deaf runners and with extra help from Anne and Lucy we really do have inclusion covered on this one.

A very warm welcome tonight to Steve, Meera and the return of our fabulous two super girls Emma and Lydia who left us to play boules, I mean what ever next.

A good warm up to get us on the right track for a flat but long run out to Twerton and not forgetting that all important headcount before the starters pistol. Wellies may have been more appropriate this evening but we are made of tough stuff at Goodgym Bath so literally took it in our stride with a few puddle jumps along the way with a good mix of strengthening exercises on route. from step ups to press ups.

Evan who is the volunteer gardener at Action on Hearing Loss was eagerly awaiting us and with the help of Pascale was able to communicate his gratitude to the the group and give us our instructions for tonight's task in these lovely gardens.

He soon had use raking and sweeping the driveway and footpaths of leaves and manoeuvring them down the woodland Path tithe composting bins. They say time flies when your having fun and that was certainly the case tonight and it was soon time to leg it back to the leisure centre for a well deserved stretch and a lap of honour for Meera who did a fantastic job of smashing the 7k run... well done !!

Thanks for letting me(Steph) back mark tonight as for once I didn't need eyes in the back of my head. Thank you Steve for tonight's pun. He can definitely come back.

Remember to bring your ID along if you wish to be paired up or do missions.
