๐Ÿ™Œ 21 excellent GoodGymmers, undeterred from the recent rain shower met for our weekly group run, and were rewarded by no further rain for the evening ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘‹ We were thrilled to welcome Lizzy for her first GoodGym session. We hope you had fun and would love to see you again ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿ‘‘ We were also delighted to welcome Ivo who founded GoodGym who visited us from London ๐Ÿ™๏ธ

๐Ÿฅณ There were celebrations aplenty for some brilliant efforts at the Vale of York half marathon on Sunday, which was Laura's first half, a PB for Ed and Nicky and excellently run by Vicky and David. Well done to everyone for getting back out on tired legs tonight ๐Ÿ…

๐Ÿซ We named, numbered and warmed up while discussing our favourite chocolate bars/snacks. From dark chocolate Bounties to salted caramel Twixes and the classic Milky Way, it was an enlightening (if not mouthwatering) experience ๐Ÿคค

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿšถ It was then time to head off to Greenfields, with running, run-walking and cycling options. We were greeted with an introduction to the space and quickly split into four teams to get to work ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿ“ Some people were lopping brambles while others were neatening up the compost piles. We also had a scything and raking team, giving Ivo his first experience of scything (maybe a new life skill to take back to London?!) ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ

โฐ Time flew with the fun that was had so it was time to finish up in no time. After gathering for the obligatory symmetrical(ish) photo, we said farewell to our run-walkers. Tonight's fitness session combined the cones of joy with (two different) dice of doom and some appropriate fitness music to create something that could be adapted to the soreness levels of the legs ๐Ÿ˜ด

๐Ÿคฉ After that, it was time to head back to base to stretch off, cool down and hear about all the exciting sessions we've got coming up, before heading to home or the pub ๐Ÿป

๐Ÿ™ˆ Sorry for the poor pun tonight, my inspiration levels were low ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
