Tonight was a special run in Cardiff, as we celebrated Darren on his very special
This can mean only ONE thing, it's time for the CAPE
We had our usual mix of groups tonight, with some walkers and joggers and a couple running like the wind - that's the power of the cape! We were heading out to help at the Samye foundation again, and as usual they had prepared a list for us.
Thankfully there was a good number of us tonight, as 13 volunteers got active and cleared the list of tasks in good time. Dylan and Henry became great friends as the floor and stairs were spotless. Darren and Andrew vanished into the attic along with the containers. Imy and Natasha got artistic with the poster displays - looking great. Emma, Aimee and Ellen moved the plinth in the blink of an eye. Lucy cleaned the mirror until you could see your face in it......wait, hold on a minute???? And then it was all hands to the windows, and ledges, Su, Martin, Llion and anyone else that was free joined to get rid of those smears...Ready for some filming I believe.
We even had time for an additional task as Darren donning his cape, mopped the hall until it was sparkling clean. We got together for some soup and soon to follow on the run - soup stitch. A great evening had by all, thanks you wonderful lot.

And this week our regular Flo was in fact Race Director.
Event number 377, 101 runners (it didn't seem like that many until scannign at the end) and a goos 28 volunteers.
Another wonderful Sunday in the park, even with some rain.

7 Spooky Volunteers met up, even with the threat of rain.
But wait, what's this I see.... Witches and the one and only....
To the goodgyming, we ran through the wet streets, trying not to frighten people. Our tasks tonight, cut the 'spikey' brambles in the garden...... In the RAIN. Help to tidy up the store room and make space for a new storage unit.
It wasn't long until the timer ran out and it was time for a trick or treat.....
Treat please...
Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Double, double, toil and trouble; Something wicked this way comes!
Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg and howlet's wing.

As the amazing Cardiff Parkrun team were packing up, GoodGym arrived to sweep the Taff Trail.
Whilst making plans for a cheer station at tomorrow’s Cardiff Half Marathon, we gathered any lingering litter. Fortunately the paths were fairly litter free but one bag later, our task was complete. Time for coffee and breakfast to refuel!

A good number of goodgymers got together this Tuesday. Our task to help at Nightingale House, a hostel that provides a temporary and welcoming home for homeless families in need support. As you can imagine the back yard and garden get a lot of use from the families, so was in good need of a tidy up and refresh.
Tonight, the running crew were led out by Darren, whilst Michael was busy at physio - see what happens when you don't stretch! Aimme led the walkers at a nice chatty pace, and Andrew was our lone cyclist for the evening.
Even with all the different groups we all still managed to arrive ready for starting at 19:00, even Michael made it from his physio.
Gloves out, bags ready and who gets the brush? We got straight to work, sweeping and bagging the leaves - Autumn is on its way. A group made their way over to the play area to pull the weeds, it looked wonderful once completed. There was even time for an archaeological dig....apparently, all over a plastic peg - although I have to admit it did come in useful for weeding in between the slabs.
We managed quite a lot in the 40 minutes we stayed, the yard looked much cleaner, the playground inviting and the weeds were gone from all around the building.
A quick photo and it was time to head back, join us next week for our trip to Samye. Sign up here
