Share the love

We love the number 11 so much we Did it again tonight, and a big welcome back to Holly this evening, if you’ve had a break for a few weeks don’t worry, We can adapt the session to suit everyone and would love to see you again.

A fun warm up of hopping, jumping, touching the ground and star jumps depended on age, gender, job, names was had and everyone was ready to go.

Three groups went running door to door, expertly done now with the past two weeks training, we even covered areas not in the map. “Strava stalking” was needed to determine where we went. A search party had to be employed at one point as we were down two runner. Ragu and David found the never ending road. And like the yellow brick road they found their “heart”.

Tonights task was a tandem of charities, spreading the word about the horsey run for Raceways who fund free running events for children and Chase Meadow community centre.

A run back in two parts, the first group heading back early to combat the hill and the search party and awol gang followed in hot pursuit.

Once at the top of the hill, a pace race began; in teams of three with a faster runner in each the aim of the game was to pace your team round to finish together. Adjudicator Holly with her finish line photo showed one winning team. Although the rest were very close behind.

Great team effort as always with the GoodGym gang.

A little stretch and a congratulations to David and Michelle for being Mission ready

See you next week
