7 runners ran 5km to paint at Mencap
Tonight we welcomed James for his first Goodgym, keeping us all on our toes by adding another J name into the mix with Joel and Joe!
After jogging and chatting down the high street, we arrived at Mencap for our task. The boys were immediately drawn to the ladder, and James made his entry as the sandman by sanding down the filler we had put in place last week. Whilst sanding and painting the wall green, David and the three Js talked almost non-stop about beer.
Becca and Charlie went to the hallway to get as much yellow painting done as was reachable without the ladder, and talked much less about beer.
David led the group on a jog around the block whilst I checked that we locked up correctly, and we set off on a route through Moulsham and Central Park back to ARU to make it a round trip. I chatted with Charlie about takeaways, whilst the others apparently decided that we're doing a pub crawl for our next social!
Thanks for helping out at Mencap, and there will be more painting for us to finish there soon!
