Tonight the two of us braved the dark nights running to Stirchley and back picking up litter as we went.

Nearly three-quarters of women in the UK change their outdoor activity routines during winter & nearly half of men underestimate women's safety concerns.

Thank you GoodGym for creating Womens safety training for men #liftthecurfew

Please do look out for runs and missions over the Autumn and Winter months to keep motivated and exercise together!

Tonight 4 GoodGymers and 2 Community Market volunteers smashed through around 700 leaflets. Keeping locals informed of a fab free volunteer led event!

After this we got a drink at the pub and spontaneously decided to go for pizza- hence the pun!

Thanks as always to Amy our market leader and taskforce member for organising ❤️🍕🥰

It was such a lovely evening for a litter pick! Having ran 3k to the task armed with pickers and bags Richard and I met up with Gabriel who we discovered had walked from the Jewellery Quarter! About a 10km walk, our run felt silly and short haha but we all had exercised a lot already. So we took it easy on the plog, trying a new spot in Stirchley park.

We even found this jigsaw (HENCE THE PUN) - and couldn't decide on the legitimacy of the artwork. Was it AI? We consulted our group whatsapp who were equally undecided as the artist only seems to have this one piece and in addition has a name very close to Frank Zappa. The mystery of ages!

We had some great chats and then both did the return legs home!

Tonight Eve, Rich and I ran 4km up the Rea in the sun after what was quite a damp and rainy afternoon!

We then met Amy who had already done a one hour mammoth task leafletting for the community market. We helped her finish off her leaflet stack having the EXACT right number to do an entire road. So satisfying.

Then it was off to the British Oak for refreshments and a catch up ❤️

Tonight a team of 5 took on a very relaxing 4km run up the River Rea Valley Path picking up litter. We managed one full bag and the path looking lovely.

Big kudos to Rich, James and Laura, fresh from their successes in the Birmingham 10K and Half Marathon!
