A festive 12 Goodgymers came along to tackle one tough hill on our 7k run to Odd Down for party preparations at the community cafe who are hosting a Christmas dinner for the elderly. A great way to bring isolated people together at this time of year.

We used the run out to the foot of the hill to warm up gently tonight before ascending the 169m hill (don't they love me tonight) and we did of course do some walking lunges to regroup once or twice on the way.

Hill out of the way and a chance to catch our breath with some Christmas card writing for Ali who's organised the Christmas lunch and lucky for the group she had already got those sprouts ready, so it took just 10 minutes to get through the pile of cards from writing inside to inserting vouchers and sealing them up. This left time for us to catch up with Felix who will be our task host on January 10th at the cycle circuit and he was keen for the group to take a look at the collection of bikes on offer from specially adapted to road bikes, certain members of the group were like children in a sweet shop(not mentioning any names) but the pictures speak for themselves.

The run back was a more leisurely one back down to the leisure centre, with a sprint finish thrown in for the more energetic members in the group. The stretch out also included the pun discussion with Emily sang out just to seal the deal as they say.

Well done to Pascale on her Marathon in Lanzarote and what a whopper of a medal and Lydia who took part in the Christmas cracker at the weekend.

Don't forget our not so Christmassy gathering on Thursday , do get signed up and show off your skating skills https://www.goodgym.org/parties/goodgym-bath-christmas-party

I would just like to wish everyone A very Merry Christmas and A Happy New year, relax enjoy and see you back on January 3rd.

Ho Ho Ho !!!
