GoodGym x Earth Hour - We are family.. I've got all my Goodgymer's and me!

Colchester Report written by Emily White

On Wednesday evening 19 runners, volunteers and good community-minded folks headed out into the evening to Litter Pick in Castle Park.

We met at Leisure World to hear an exciting debrief about the Colchester Half Marathon which took place on Sunday. A good number of our Goodgym group got themselves out in the beautiful (and warm) sunshine to complete the half marathon, with PBs being smashed left, right and centre. Well done everyone who took part and a huge thanks to those who came to cheer us all on. Sophie has decided to review her energy snack of choice after a few people reported struggling with the Percy Pig heads.. but we all appreciated the effort and sentiment! We also heard about some folks setting new goals for their running. Fantastic!

With Earth Hour coming up this Saturday (8.30.. turn off your lights for an hour) we joined Goodgymers all over the country in an environmentally themed task and took our litter pickers to work on our park. We were given an area to focus on and split up into small groups to tackle the challenge. Sadly, whilst beavering away, a member of the public approached one of the small groups and acted aggressively towards them, resulting in one of our long-standing and experienced members being hurt. This was a real shock to all of us. Thankfully the injury was not severe and the staff at Leisure World were fantastic in offering first aid and notifying the relevant people of what had happened.

It was also a moment where the Goodgym family jumped into action! It was great to see everyone pulling together to support the group members involved and reaffirmed, yet again, what a fantastic group this is to be a part of. Whether you've completed 1 good deed or over 100, this is a group of people who will step up and look out for each other. As Ian said, he won't be put off.. So let's keep going, keep each other safe and keep doing good!

Once we were all safely inside Leisure World Chrissie did a varied workout for us involving a range of core exercises which got our hearts pounding and a few muscles aching. We bid farewell, hugs were shared, and we look forward to our onward mission of providing positive input to our community.
