No football tonight at Goodgym Bath, just a spot of running around some of the beautiful Georgian architecture in Bath for the lucky 15 who came along on the 4K to support one of the Guerrilla gardens situated at the top of Park street.

A reminder that the Goodgym Olympics are on Saturday 30th June, Mary has created an amazing Olympic torch to hold aloft to represent Bath Area.

We kicked off tonight with a warm up and headcount with a footie theme (name your hero) to go with the flow before taking the most architecturally scenic route to our task destination, the Guerrilla garden situated at the top of Park street, find out more about them http://transitionbath.org/guerrillagardening/

Bill at the Top of the Hill

A few hill reps naturally and Bill was there to welcome the group and set the tasks ensuring getting the most out of the allotted time enabling us to make a big impact, plenty of room to spread out weeding and cutting back along the footpath whilst having a good old natter. I’m not sure the little mouse 🐁 was happy as it scurried across the path to safety but he did put Lydia’s vocals to the test.

Whistle while we work

A perfect evening for a spot of gardening in the evening sunshine but sadly it was time to say goodbye and make our way back through Royal Victoria Park and to where it all began for our stretches and a recap on the pun options for the run report.

Thanks to Alison for back marking and to Mary for a fabulous pun.    

FOUR FABULOUS LADIES IN BATH gave up their Sunday morning lay in to go for a 2k run to paint the gates that we prepared earlier last month for St Marks community centre in Widcombe

WELCOME TO GRACE... HIP HIP!!

Grace was joining us this morning for her first taste of Goodgym Bath and what a thoroughly good time she had and she did an amazing job.

The short run today was a good thing as we wanted to get as much as possible done today so we can complete the job on Tuesday evenings group run.

Alex was ready

and waiting for us on arrival with absolutely everything needed for the job. Sarah and Grace took the gate to the left whilst Mary and Steph joined in with the right side. Alex was even given a pass to come and help us although he did confess to hating painting so not sure if he was feeling the same GOOD LOVE as us girls.

CHIT CHAT AWAY

Some great conversations around childbirth and getting old which seemed appropriate in the graveyard but i am sure Alex was amused by our chit chat.

FOR THEY ATE JOLLY GOOD FELLOWS

A resident came over to thank us for the amazing work and two ladies we looking in adoration from across the street.

180 minutes later and almost done it was time to pack up and say our goodbyes until Tuesday before taking the short run back along the riverside, where we spotted even more railing that could do with a lick of paint.

Thank you to MARY for back marking and todays pun.

WELL DONE LADIES!!!
