Tonight we had a fancy dress Halloween run.

I think it's still up for debate (myself included) as to what on earth I was supposed to be dressed up as. In my defence I had some 'fang issues' so had to think of a quick amendment to what could go with my red cape.

Hats off to Simon's skeleton outfit... I was concerned as I'd programmed some squats and lunges into the warm up.

Great to see 22 volunteers make it out tonight and thanks to Dan for being back runner (in his self-made leaf costume).

There's something about dressing up that makes me feel like a kid... I just wanted to keep scaring any passes by the whole way to the task.

Speaking of which, tonight's task was to clear leaves at a local Sheltered Housing Scheme. It's a place that I deliver activity sessions at on Monday afternoons and one of the residents is 105 years old and she participates in the Seated Exercise session every week.

Upon arrival I directed everyone to different parts with a bin bag and off they went to collect an exceptional amount of fallen leaves.

It was something a little different for us to do but as per usual, the GoodGym-ers got stuck straight in.

There were a couple of bungalows that had lots of gnomes outside of them... now when you're a clumsy oath like myself and there are lots of leaves around them it's quite easy to trod over them... twice.

Bill then suddenly looked like something from a horror film with his white sheet with a red light underneath (check out the photo).

After 30 minutes we regrouped and got ready to set off back to The Forum, where there were some Halloween goodies awaiting courtesy of myself and Catherine.

The residents at Violet Elvin Court will be very grateful for the hard work put in and it'll also reduce the risk of them slipping on them.

While we were stretching at the end of the session, Simon talked about his first Coach Run he did on Wednesday, our first pairing in Norwich. Remember to bring your DBS docs for me to check before or after any Group runs.

Next week we are moving furniture and some other bits at The Marlpit .

Happy Halloween.
