Thinking of a good enough title to signify the return of group activities was tough...what happened tonight has not happened for around 14months after 4 years of weekly 'do-gooding' in Colchester.
We met at the old haunt of Leisure World in the outdoor seating area - which is now a normal thing everywhere! I tried my best to remember the Goodgym speech and scrambled through it and even managed to number off the 'gang' (as we were described lovingly by a friendly cyclist.
With Andrew and James nursing their matching groin injuries we steadily jogged to Worsnop House from where we managed to do a little bit of litter picking that extended on to Old Heath Recreation Ground. On Sunday we are volunteering at Junior Parkrun at the Rec and now it is a bit cleaner and shinier for the kids!
We bumped into the main man at Go4 community cafe too and made arrangements to sort out a task with them soon and then a little fitness!
Using the tree's as markers we paired up to do some shuttle runs, press-upd, squats and burpees! It felt new but the tried and tested Wednesday tradition is back!!!
See you on Sunday and perhaps a parkrun on Saturday too. Stay safe and socially distanced if you can!
