11 runners ran 4.8k to InterAct to paint their TV Room
With Spring in full flow we met at our usual spot at ARU while it was still light. We welcome two new Goodgymers to the fray, Vicky and Adam. After congratulating James G on his 50th Parkrun we lunged our way towards the High Street.
We jogged our way to Moulsham Mill and arrived at InterAct. Susie and the team have won the latest Tesco Charity competition and so we needed to continue our work painting to make the TV room fresh for the Easter Egg hunt next week. We set to work sanding, dusting, painting and, in my case, getting in the way. We made an impact to the appearance of the room and chatted merrily while we painted. After some lovely biscuits and a photo by the dartboard, we set off into the night. We owe you a session of hoovering though Susie!
We sped off towards the bridges by the record office. The energetic ones amongst us (clearly they didn't paint hard enough) did a slightly longer route with interval sprints across the bridges. We made our way back in good time for a stretch and it was nice to see Kate after she popped out of the campus bar building!
Thanks to everyone for coming, particularly Vicky and Adam! I hope to see you all either at Parkrun on Saturday, GoodGym next Wednesday or the Golden Fleece next Thursday for our pub quiz social.

Terrible runner. But it's the thought that counts. Getting better!
