GG Brums boffday party!
17 GoodGymers made their way 6.0km to help the SIFA Fireside in Birmingham.
- Tuesday, 23rd of January 2018
- Led by Jonny Carter
17 people ran 6k to Sifa Fireside to do a deep clean
On a virtually tropical night in Brum we welcomed Amy for the first time. What a great night to join us on our 1st birthday! After the intros with Garry kindly being the back marker we were on our way to Sifa. After a good paced 3k run down there Geoff warmly greeted us as always. The group quickly got on with the task, cleaning the showers, toilets, doors and seats. After thirty minutes of graft we were on our way again.
Quick bootcamp
As usual we stopped in the car park and did a quick bootcamp blast! Well the group did, I just took the pictures 😉 We had, high knees, tuck jumps, squat jumps, leg kicks followed by a sprint to the car park wall followed by the one-minute thigh and backside burning wall squat! Once done we had the 3k run back. This is always a little tougher as it is mainly uphill! After having a quick group piccy with the Bullring in the background, the group split in two, with one group going a little quicker for the last 1.5k back to base! Somebody wanted a beer. Aaron and Luke led the way with Morwenna, Rob, Aidan and Amy not far behind. The other group weren’t long with everything single one putting in some great work. Once back some of the group enjoyed a celebratory birthday pint or two!
On Saturday we will be out doing good again, for GG Brum’s first starter session! it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
