V hot indeed for a Bristol GoodGym Group Run and a first good deed for Roddy - welcome!

The walking group set a gentle pace on a not-very-direct route taking advantage of the underpass to stay cool on the route with the runners already hard at work when we arrived at School.

Litter picking, sand sifting, planter wandering and leaf sweeping were the orders of the day with lots of us taking advantage of the shade offered by the trees and buildings on a sweltering night. Lyra the dog was in top supervising mode and not letting anyone take the ball from her mouth, as usual.

Having discovered that the Daily Mile is a whopping 16 laps of the painted track, we opted to eat cake instead before being forced into the evening sunshine for a pretty photo.

Not so much taking in this heat but we made up for it back at Workout's ClubHaus, out by the river and watching the Olympic swimming on the big screen, celebrating Ireland's Wiffen's Olympic Record performance in the not-at-all boring 800m freestyle and watching the rowers pass on the New Cut - picture perfect GoodGymming.
