Bank Holiday Monday right! Stay home, have some chocolate right….? Well for some and for 6 in Richmond… there were even more *GOOD TIMES!!! *

Spreading the Easter love out in the community and using some seasonal chocolate delight to tell some just what daily HEROES they are in our borough.

We welcomed Hugh back for his second run – Rock on Hugh (I think he is secretly getting the GG Bug.) Well played Laura for giving him the Nudge ; - )

So what exactly did we do… Well we warmed up, talked knee injury and hill climbing strategies then we created our own personal task to spread some chocolate and good cheer whilst having a good 6 km approx. run along with some hardcore rope and ladder tug of war training** (REMEMBER WE ARE IN IT – THE COMPETITION 8th JUNE/ SOCIAL AFTER TOO! More GOOD TIMES)**

So we worked quads/ biceps / glutes / traps and much more as we pulled and jump squatted before having a few rounds of tug of war which was so intense people were stopping on the hill to take our photos …. Lord knows where that footage will end up but we were clearly entertaining, so that much is already certain for the 8th.

After this the gauntlet was thrown down and we divided to two teams and split the HEROES Eggs respectfully so (Not all our...

EGGS WERE IN ONE BASKET

Each team had two drops to make before returning to the top of the hill to declare victory.

Eggs were wrapped in weather proof carriers tied with Goodgym Lace and handwritten by each runner was a GG tag (We def had the GG personal touch going on) … the race was on and well I can safely say, I as the run trainer lost … and all the rounds of tug of war….Sad??? Hell nope! It was the most fun I have had since I was on holiday last week and I can’t thank the fellow runners with me tonight enough for such a great time and from all accounts I heard those that actually received the egg in their hand tonight were smiling from ear to ear too! So job well done.

A good stretch – followed by some IT band stretch efforts and foam rolling advice rounded all the fun off and 'Mahmoud's pun was a cherry on the cake.

God bless guys and great to tell SPEAR, ETNA, The Vineyard and Lynde Care Home (I know there are so many more but there are only so many eggs us bunnies can carry in one evening) just how great they are and how they make our town a little better daily eh! Next week is BACK TO SCHOOL – It’s been a while and then food and a beer or 2 for our GG social at the Shaftesbury … Let’s catch up guys, sign up here

Good luck to Laura for her 10km this weekend

Have a great week all!
