Wow guys, FAB job this evening, that was a whole heap of bags we filled! Massive thanks to Anne, one of our task force for finding a area that really benefited our help this evening.

We set off at the usual time, after a little warm up! from Lifelesiure Grandcentral at 6.30pm. 9 fabulous runners attended this evening and collectively we collected a big heap of rubbish.

The run was only a little one, but the effort was HUGE. 12 bin bags of rubbish were collected, and tonights random items were a bucket and a vintage holdall with snails in for the ride.....

The area we cleaned was just past our start location, it was a lovely green area that looked like no one had appreciated for a while, many work places surround the area so hopefully it will be used more with the sun out this week. It was great to see all the spring bulbs pushing up from the ground, and now instead of having random beer cans and crisp packets around them the flowers can bloom happier and the area can thrive.

We completed the run next to Hollywood park, with its mega stairs I thought it would be rude not to use them to our advantage for fitness purposes, however there was already a super fit crew sweating it out doing weird backward squats down the stairs, it looked painful, and odd......So we went further down and had a little circuit session, all together there were 8 stations, each for a minute, with rest when needed. Everyone worked to max effort, so well done, especially to Callumn who joined us for the first time tonight, it was his 21st birthday and so thought he would celebrate in style with us, what a honor! Thank you. He is also in his 3rd year of a journalist degree and is going to do a article on what we get up to on weekly basis, and how beneficial community fitness is, fame at last Stockport Goodgym crew?? Talking of fame, see the photo added thats been shared on social media by the latest ParkRun group in the area, Fletcher Moss.

Well done to everyone who attended the Fletcher Moss ParkRun on Saturday , I was truly sad to have missed it ( well done Anne on your PB!) however there will be more things in the pipeline for us to join in with.

Have a fabulous week runners, stay Awesome! Happy running,
