Well after a Chocolate filled Easter weekend for most, it was time to burn some of those calories off. This Monday it was all about getting to know each other better and welcoming new runners to Goodgym Bexley. After introductions and our warm up (remember warm up to run, not run to warm up) we headed out towards the beautiful Danson Park lakes. Eileen took lead of the advanced runners, whilst I went through some running techniques with the new runners to our group. Massive hi5 to Danielle who was very nervous at the start, but was all smiles by the time we had done a lap of the lake. It wasn't long before the rest of the gang having completed the 4K loops joined us for the start of the fitness camp. Quick mention to welcome back Sean who has been off with a foot injury but joined us tonight and ran very well indeed. It was good to see you.

it was now time for the fitness session

Knowing it has been Easter weekend, and knowing lots of chocolate would have been consumed, I took no pity as we got ourselves into two teams. The only things on the menu this evening were burpees, jumps, sprints and planks. Oh and lots of laughs and smiles for dessert. Tonight though I really had to push the Bexley Goodgymers because within our ranks this evening was Kim from Goodgym Sheffield who was down visiting her parents for the weekend. We had to send her off with the message that although a new Goodgym group, we are one of the toughest 😂 Kim I hope you enjoyed yourself, and hope to see you again soon.

With everyone exhausted and smiling it was that time again

With everyone exhausted and smiling it was that time again. We packed up our kit, picked up our water bottles and headed back up a small but by now, a noticeable hill to basecamp Crooklog. The run was made easier by the smiles, laughs and great conversations by newly made friendships which is what Running and fitness with Goodgym Bexley is all about. See you next Monday Goodgymers
