Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Bournemouth runner
This evening we were heading back to Bishop Aldhelms School to finish the corridor we started before Christmas and say hello to Paul the site manager! It was a little different this evening as Charlie from BBC Radio Solent had been in touch wanting to do a piece on the gang and the great things they do in the Bournemouth community.
We all made sure we were wearing our GoodGym best, polished out shoes and tidied our hair....
When we arrived at the school Charlie and George were eager to get shots of us running so off we went in different directions making sure we looked like pro's and definitely not like we'd run 4km through Bournemouth Gardens in way too many layers yet again!
With lots of action shots in the bag we headed inside to do some painting!
WE LOVE PAINTING!!!!
After a quick briefing from Paul on what was needed we split up into two groups. One group putting a second coat on the left hand side of the corridor, and the other group tackling the right hand side and giving that a fresh, new, first coat!
During this, Daryl, our good deeds leader volunteered himself to be interviewed and after that Caprice our second placed with good deeds stepped up into the limelight for her 5 minutes of fame. The gang beavered away and in no time had finished the corridor! And this time it didn't look like there had been missed brushed strokes from the look of clean t-shirts! They obviously cherish their GoodGym shirts! Especially Charlotte who had just received hers! Wohoo!!! Looking good!!!!
We headed off to wash off the paint brushes, made sure we weren't leaving anyone behind and set off into the night. The route back took us along the well lit path through the gardens allowing us to chat non stop without having to worry about not seeing where we were stepping.
We got back to base, decided we were going for drinks next week and finished with a stretch and some more chatting.
Good luck to Caprice who is running a Half this Sunday and has been ill for over a week! Hope you feel better soon and can enjoy it come Sunday!!
See you all next week!!!
