12 runners ran 5k to clear the car park for the Girl Guide Association

On a bitterly cold night we had twelve hardant GoodGymer’s out doing their thing. It was fantastic to welcome Rocio for the first time. I would say we gave her a warm welcome, but the words warm and tonight don’t really go together!

Aaron did the front runner duties and Annie the back as we headed to the Girl Guides building. On arrival we were handed bags, gloves and a couple of brushes. Karin and Laura certainly had fun with the brushes! The job was to clear the car park of rubbish. With there not being to much in the way of garbage we were done in double quick time. We handed our equipment back to Maureen, who thanked the group and we were off on our way again.

On the way back we ran via the canal up to St Paul’s square. Once in the square it was time for a Little Bootcamp blast! We started up with a core exercise. Aaron, George and Tom showing a sound technique. Next it was squat jumps. Rocio did great in her first session, especially as she wasn’t expecting a HIIT workout towards the end of the run! Richard put in some top work as did Karin, Annie and Leah. Next it was high knees running. Tom got a really good fast knee lift and Laura certainly got that heart rate souring! The last exercise was the dreaded tuck jumps! Marija did fantastically well to keep going, as did all the group in such a tough circuit! That was it! Well not quite, just two quick laps around the church to finish off, well it kept the group warm if nothing else ;-) And then we were done! It was just a matter of the short jog back to 1000 Trades and the welcome warmth :-)

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
