22 GoodGym Cardiff runners ran to help St Alban's Primary School
We had an absolutely lovely post Easter holidays run planned for this evening. Approximately 2.2 miles to St Alban's school and then the same distance back.
After meeting at Big Moose, dropping our bags and having a quick natter, we were outside by 6.30pm doing our warm up. Wasting no time, we then moved quickly onto introductions. We welcomed Emma to her first ever GoodGym run - A HUGE welcome to you and we hope you come along again :D We are a nice bunch! We also congratulated Rosie for reaching 100 GOOD DEEDS!!! Wooo, Rosie can now claim her wings (A brand new t-shirt)... Well done - you've earned it! :)
For our run to St Alban's we split into 3 groups; We had Mikey leading the speedy runners, Ellen leading the sexy runners and Ben leading the walking group aka. the walkie talkies!
Welcome to St Alban's Primary School
We were greeted to St Alban's school by Rachel, Jen and Gemma. They had a number of tasks that kept us moving and helped the school out in the process ... Fantastic!
- Llion and Meg were outside the front of the school picking up litter and sweeping mud and fallen branches
- Lucy and Nathan were attaching ribbon to a fence. The fence was the backdrop to a small outdoor stage that would allow the children to use their imagination and creativity skills.
- Lowri decorated a tree with pieces of ribbon - She informed me that this task has now become her favourite task to date!
- Mikey, Mike, Martin, and Welsh Dave moved tyres and swept the outdoor area - They said it was very tyre-ing.
- Sue and Emma sorted cupboard space that was in the school hall.
- Lydia, Sophie, Rosie, Matt, Oli, Aimee, Emma and Alice were all cleaning up the playground that was on the left side of the building. They were also moving tyres. Sophie and Lydia also moved a metal frame arch.
Thank you so much for helping us - You've made a massive difference in such a short time and helped us out loads
Rachel, Jen and Gemma were so thankful for our help. They bid us an enjoyable run back to Cardiff city centre and waved us off as we left. Jen offered to lead the run back but quickly decided against it when we all agreed... instead she helped us get on our way by blowing her whistle.

"Some super quick retweets this evening. But fastest of the lot was Meg! A new addition to the leaderboard." Lucy is still top of the leaderboard... but how long for?!
