Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
What a night …..Monday and we have Watering cans and buckets on tap in the Vic!!
A WHOLE new drinking game in the making I am sure but I will leave to the more creative of the Richmond team to implement that one another time.
Of course our vessels were full of water – Our TASK to ensure the more floral spots of Richmond hill were well watered
The cosy Victoria Inn sits opposite a boat full of flowers of which I shall not profess to know the types other than Lavender (feel free RICHMOND to educate me next Monday on the other species) Behind these sits some new trees that were recently planted. The directive to the local community is that any resident is free to water these but sometimes they just need a little more TLC and insteps the Goodgym community runners.
As if this was not enough, already resisting the beers and hill views at the end of a hard day , our task was performed after some fairly intense shuttle runs, plyometrics and a hill Ha ha ha , which was what gradient would we say ….70 – 80%. (I exaggerate NOT!)
Team work, focus and a steady hand were our ingredients as we divided and conquered the upper plantar as well. Ensuring our running stride was smooth enough to hardly spill a drop on the way up. Should we make this an Olympic event?
I know hard to believe but we did it, we are Richmond and that's how we roll
Our reward was complete satisfaction in our work and it's purpose
(And of course yes and some delicious smoothies from Wholefood . Hmmm and some moreish snacks from our lovely Graze runners) BUT it's all GOOD!!
Proud to run with you team – Have a good week
Feel free to send me some photos you took along the way I can try to add as the week goes on !!
