๐Ÿ‘‹ 15 brilliant GoodGymmers met for our weekly group run. We discussed some brilliant running (and other!) achievements over the weekend ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธIn honour of "The Queue", we discussed our favourite queue experiences whilst warming up. There were plenty of gigs and food and also some reminiscences back to school days ๐Ÿšธ

๐ŸšฆWe ran the short distance to the Cemetery (some of us taking a slightly less short route due to inconvenient road crossing points) and played a quick fitness game while we waited for Clive to arrive. (I quickly regretted allowing Stef to choose his own forfeit, after more press ups than I've done all year ๐Ÿคฏ)

๐ŸŒฟ We collected the tools and headed to tonight's patch to be cleared. After instruction in what to avoid, we set to work, lopping and chopping the many brambles and nettles we found. Stef and Mitch mostly talked about shared music interests and gigs, whilst Tay and Lucy looked up rude-sounding plant names ๐Ÿ™Š

๐Ÿ‘ป Within no time, we were due to finish our doing good to continue our getting fit. We did this in a style appropriate to the setting tonight, doing ALL the lunges (and plenty of burpees) to the Ghostbusters theme song. Oh, and Michal spotted a fox, which was cool ๐ŸฆŠ

๐ŸŒ† With the light fading fast, it was soon time to head back to base, navigating the road crossings more successfully this time. We stretched off and parted ways, to the back drop of the choir (and Tay's commentary of them) ๐ŸŽค

๐Ÿ™Œ Thanks for tonight everyone. Clive is keen to have us back one weekend soon so keep an eye out for that, and any other sessions you fancy joining in the meantime ๐Ÿ‘Œ
