18 GoodGym Coventry runners ran 8km to get to Coventry Social Supermarket to do good. This is a regular task venue for us and we have been helping create the Social Supermarket ready for it's launch.
Tonight was also the first deed after Allan and Laura achieved their 50 Good deeds over the weekend- well done both x They celebrated this run, by donning capes to run the streets of Coventry and Lil baked some awesome flapjacks, thanks Lil.

We knew that the distance would take us a while so whilst we regrouped at various points on the route, the runners took part in several activities to improve running strength, hill reps, squats and lunges as well as some press ups and tricep dips to strengthen our upper bodies.

At the task a chain was made to move crockery and cutlery from a store cupboard to the kitchen where they were then cleaned and put away. Some painting was also completed. It is great to see all the strange and lovely tasks we get to do at the Social Supermarket, thanks Ellie.

Sadly tonight was Brogan's last run before her adventures so on returning to the start location, we stretched, wished her well and had a quick drink. Thanks Deb for a trademark GoodGym stone.

Next week, we will be meeting at the Alison Gingell building see map

Have a lovely week, Liz x Someone left a hat tonight, was it yours Jack?
