Spring is a time of newness and today saw us celebrate two new things: our first Thursday group run and, more importantly, the wonderful Geraldine leading her first group run. Congratulations Geraldine on getting through the training and taking on this important role.

The evening saw us back at More To Childcare, a nursery in East Greenwich, which has been a GoodGym Greenwich regular for many years. We met at the Naval college, and after a short debate on whether we preferred the sea or the mountains, we were on our way, diverting from the direct route to dodge some tourists and enjoy a run through Greenwich park and by the river. On arrival we were met by Eve (and the friend that Eve forgot she was meeting that night) and we got to work in the garden. Weeds were removed, trees were trimmed, long-lost toys were extracted from the undergrowth and the alkanet was given a good seeing to. Soon the nursery was looking a lot more shipshape we ran off into the evening.
