Tonight we kissed the frogs!
10 goodgymers met, read maps and hopped around the town centre to give the frogs a wash…….
We started at the usual 6.30pm, this week we were joined by 2 newbies, Carole and Carolyn, thanks for frogging around with us and doing your best to run and clean the frogs, it was great to meet you both and well done for working so hard.
It was also great to see a few of you that haven’t been in a while, again thanks for coming to kiss and clean the frogs!
We set off with a little warm up with some frog themed movements that as well as looking slightly odd are actually really good hip openers, perfect for a run around the town centre.
After changing all the frogs on the map to different numbers and planning out a route to hop it all quickly changed once it was discovered *I’m not the best at reading maps (sorry!) *but we still got round to all 19 frogs, and most of them got a kiss, and they all got a good wash too.
The frogs are a great way to get people walking and discovering the town centre, there are 19 all together, each one designed by a different artist, community, business or school. Its a great creative way to get people together and makes the centre look colourful and inviting.
After each frog got a wash we ran to some of the towns historic cobbled hills, and it would have been rude not to do a few hill repeats wouldn’t it, and so thats what we did! We ran up a big hill, then back down some the stairs a small recovery section and then repeat x 3, it was tough, but you did a epic job, well done folks.
After the 3rd run we all walked it once more to get back to the start location, we slowly ran back to end with a couple of stretches to cool off and calm down.
Check out next weeks run, we will be having more fun and games, this time we will be running to a care home to play board games!
Thanks to everyone that attended last night, you were** froggin** wonderful and *hoppin *mad!
Enjoy your week, Lisa xxx
