Wow, another wonderful winter run right! Despite it being pancake day, our run this evening was far from flat! 6 Goodgymers met at Produce Hall, we ran a mighty 5km to our task, mainly up hill in the wind.
We were met in Woodley by the Canal by the lovely Neil from the Canal and River trust, he met us with some life jackets, lots of energy, some big lights and some tools!! We had 30 minutes to cut back as much over grown foliage as possible, what fun! The weather held out and we had a great time. Tonight the task was to clear up the area in time for Sunday when a volunteer group will be adding to the clean up. We cleared the path way for cyclist, runners and anyone else using the pathway.
We will be back again in around 6 weeks time, this time to set the path again. Its a great community task, ensuring that the canal path is clear and safe everyone in the community to use.
I jinxed the run back, I said it would be like flying back since it was all down hill!!! I was WRONG! It was down hill, it just happened to start hail stoning, and get very windy, and there were a LOT of puddles that were large enough to swim through, it sounds like a awful run, but it was one of those runs, that if you were running on your own it would have been, but because we were all together it was pretty funny (kind of?!)
It was fab to have Debs back with us this week after a 4 week break, thanks for bringing your energy, and well done on the hill climb cycle and the river headstand! your a inspiration. Thank you to all of you that braved the wet weather tonight, you were great.
Have a great week running
