Don't feel blue on a Tuesday, when you can feel grate with GoodGym!

On a remarkably hot Tuesday evening, 20 GoodGym Coventry runners ran 3 km to complete the mound moving at Spon Gate school, with an added bit of painting thrown in. It was great to meet Anna for her first GoodGym Coventry run.

Thanks to Lil for her offer of a walking group and Elise, Anna and Vic for their photos.

As it was so unbelievably hot today, preserving ourselves was of the utmost importance so we sought out shade at all opportunities. It was great to hear about parkrun adventures, Allan and Susanne, and to hear about trail runs-Elise.

We set off as a run / walk pace to travel the short distance to Spon Gate and soon set into groups to complete the tasks. It was really important that jobs were rotated and runners kept hydrated at all points. So everyone had a go at wheeling, shovelling, spreading and painting. We unearthed some great rocks and a grate. And smiled as several members started to look a little smurf-like after their painting shifts. I The team worked fantastically and it was son clear that we would complete the task today but it would mean skipping the fitness session- due to the heat and the very physical nature of the task, everyone had completed a full body workout already :)

We took it easy on our return to Drapers, stretched and caught up. It will be a few weeks till we see Susanne again as she is off for adventures on a tandem- have a great time Susanne.

Have a good week and see you all next week, Liz x

Next week we will stay behind for drinks at Drapers as an unofficial social.
