A massive hello to Laura, Lilian, Allan, Alice, Aicha and Neeraj and a huge welcome back to those of you for whom this was your second week!
This week, we headed out to Spencer Park, where we supported Karen and her team putting up nets in the tennis courts and clearing debris from the park and it's borders. This week was also linked with GoodGym hosting sessions focused around Earth Hour, the global campaign to raise awareness of environmental issues. #runforyourworld The speed at which the wheelie bins were filled was pretty swift and soon the Bowling Green and Tennis courts area was cleared. good work all! Karen and her team are keen for us to return and complete more tasks, so definitely a job well done.
Following this, you powered up the inclines alongside Spencer Park and sped to the top, chering each other on. Awesome teamwork.
To complete the evening, we ran via the Cathedral to see the Knife Angel.
Look forward to seeing lots of you again next week.
Have a great week.

Wow, what a first week. You lots are amazing. Forty one runners ran 5 km in total to Coventry Resource Centre for the Blind on the19th March where they weeded, cleaned paths, moved sheds and rafts to clear a fantastic area which will now be used to build a shelter for visiting Guide Dogs.
Having been greeted by Hugh and Jo at the Centre and having learned about how the task would benefit, our busy 41 set off on competing the task. Due to the nature of the task, as well as the participating in the task runners also participated in a mini fitness session. The transformation of the garden was impressive with a shed, desks and at least 15 bags of weeds relocated to a skip. Having been thanked by Jo, we headed off to complete our fitness session.
The fitness session started with finding a buddy and then completing laps of the park mixed with some strengthening exercises. All runners gave it their all on the reps and completed the session with smiles beaming.
Thank you so much for attending and giving it your all, not only on the task but on the fitness session afterwards. It was great to chat to lots of you, hope I can catch up with the rest of you at sessions in the future.
Next week's run can be signed up for here

I wasn't sure what to expect after joining GoodGym. I feel pleasantly surprised. I am impressed with the organization..all the email prompts to the run and activity. I took much pleasure in being a part of yesterday's run. I too plan to continue my involvement. Thanks to everyone...leads and participators alike who were friendly and full of energy!!! :)

Great concept and amazingly effective, both socially and physically. Running with a purpose just makes it so much more meaningful (and motivating). I will definitely join in again.

I really enjoyed this run. This was my first official run after about 30 years. Running with a purpose to help and support vulnerable adults really motivate me. I will run again and again. Thanks to Liz, Rob and other colleagues for continuous encouragement in the run.
