100th time's the charm!
We're trying not to take it personally that the one day of filthy weather this week was the day of our 100th GoodGym Oxford group run!-Do we get wings on our GoodGym flag for reaching that milestone?!
This week's task was to distribute posters advertising the Lord Mayor's Charity Quiz. Given that the Lord Mayor is one of our longest serving GoodGymers and the quiz is raising money for several great causes in Oxford we were more than happy to help.
Dividing into a walking group and a running group we set off in different directions laden with posters. The runners jogged up the hill through Iffley and across the muddy playing fields to the Rose Hill Community Centre, then dropped extra posters off at various local shops and takeaways on the way back to the meeting point at the Magdalen Arms, where they were grateful for a chance to warm up and dry off while waiting for the walkers to finish their route. Lead (astray) by Mark, the walkers meandered down the Cowley Road, round The Plain then back along the Iffley Road, pinning posters up in pubs (and enjoying several swift halves) and cafes as they went. It might have been as much of a pub crawl as a good deed - I couldn't possibly comment!
Happy 100th Group Run everyone!
