The pick of the litter
Well done to Georgeta, Sophie, Nicola and Juli, who joined me for this evening's group run and litter pick.
We met up at the Town Hall and started the evening with a warm up jog and some dynamic stretches around the amphi-theatre. Then we headed off for our run, a 4km loop out into the lovely Braywick Nature Reserve and then back into town just as we lost the light. We then collected our litter picking kit from my car and hit the town.
We focussed on the High Street, St Ives Road, the Amphitheatre, Providence Place and West Street. This was a bit of an experiment to see whether the town centre was in need of more TLC from GoodGym and we are pleased to report that the High Street was pretty clean. We did find that a few people had abandoned their takeaways at the Amphitheatre though, and there was also lots of rubbish along West Street, where some of the high street shops have their loading bays and bins.
At the end we attracted some funny looks while we did our stretches, then bundled everything we had collected into 1 big bag, which I took home to put in my bin.
Well done on another great effort team!

Litter Pick Maidenhead
The evenings are drawing in, but that won't stop us getting out, getting fit and doing good deeds!
This evening's run or walk starts at the Braywick Leisure Centre and takes in the Braywick Nature Reserve and Green Way path into the town centre. All paces of runners and walkers are welcome and we will have a back marker to make sure no one is left behind. The run will be approximately 4km and the walk 2km.
In the town centre we will hunt for litter, and also chat to each other and generally have a lovely sociable time. We will also have a fitness session in the amphitheatre, so be read for some squats, planks and other healthy, fun stuff.
If you have your own litter picking kit then please do bring it along. Otherwise there will be kit available.
We will finish the session with a run or walk back to our start location and some stretches. By this point it will be very dark, so please do bring a torch! If you're not used to running in the dark it can be a bit daunting at first, but with lights and safety in numbers we make sure everyone is safe.
Please sign up below and if you are up for helping out by back marking, walk leading, writing the run report or taking photos then please do add that on. Looking forward to seeing you all!

Helping Wessex is the G.O.A.T
A beautiful evening for our 3rd visit to Wessex. Sophie and Nicola met for a pre task 4km run and passed Georgeta getting a quick run in too! Amy also ran from home whilst others walked.
A group of 11 of us inclusive of Goodgymmers, parents and teachers assembled outside and set to work weeding, clearing, sweeping, raking and best of all, feeding the school goats! Lily and Poppy seemed eager to eat lots of hawthorn leaves so we happily helped them!
A big welcome and well done to Julia, Liana and Hannah for logging their first good deeds!
A productive task with great company and we hope to visit again soon.
