21 TENACIOUS @GGSHEFF runners, ran 5.5km to get fit and do good for Heeley Development Trust, helping them with the upkeep of Heeley Peoples Park.

WELCOME

This week we welcomed 2 new runners to our group. Give a cheer to....

• Em Moss
• Joe Dunne

LET'S RUN

After giving a warm welcome to Em and Joe we set off from our home of the Showroom Cinema, heading out to Heeley People's Park. On arrival we met RAVISHING ROB at the Crowns nest and got a great group photo at the nest before being joined by FANTASTIC FRANK with one of the smooooothest entrances ever witnessed on an e-bike!

After a great brief about the project and the H&S aspects to be aware of we headed to the task and got stuck in taing up weeds and thistles and cutting back overgrown branches. We very quickly filled to massive sacks. With the days getting shorter, light and time were against us but with most runners tooled up with head torches there was no stopping the @GGSHEFF crew even to the point where we were looking for more areas to complete.

You need to get a bigger park. (Chris Dyer).

After a heartfelt thank you from the team at Heeley Development Park we headed back off into the darkness of the night to a slightly better lit park for some team fitness which this week included:

• The Spinning Wheel!
• Paired Sprints
• Group Squats
• Group Squat Jumps
• Timed Straight Arm Hangs (where's Lillie gone?)

Once back at base our runners even had the energy left for a go at a STRAVA SECTION on Howard Street before stretching off and heading inside for news, drinks and chatter.

Don't forget to help choose Good Gym's races for 2018

Until next time, happy running :)
