I don't want no scrubs (except for in the preparation of painting)
10 GoodGymers made their way 4.0km to help the Way Ahead in Warwick & Leamington Spa.

10 runners set off tonight including some new faces (bodies included) for our task at Wass house (no relation to our coach Wass - Way Ahead Support Services), it was a nice gentle pace although the twist was not in the tail but halfway through, and hill sprints was its name. Following a pep talk of hill running we set off, 3 sprints up the hill with a gentle recovery jog back down again, 4 for the more hardy fools.
After a quick chat and catch of breath where it was needed we arrived at our task, a house of 2 halves.
Our task was to wash the walls, remove the marks and sand the filler down and masking tape all the sockets... Iain was very disappointed when the tape ran out..
2 teams were agreed upon and took a side of the house each preparing for tomorrows arrival of the painters, laughs and giggles had to be kept a little quieter on one as some of the residents were sleeping as we worked our way round. On the other side many puns were being thought of. They weren't slacking honest...
Just over half an hour later and with military precision we joined back together as 1 big team of 10 to enjoy our stroll/jog/run back to our starting point. A cool down, a few stretches later and the discovery that next weeks task will not be as far (its the building before where we went tonight) we all dispersed into the night ( or the Pub).
See you all again next week.
