Well folks, an exciting night for GoodGym as the BBC Television crew were shadowing the session and litter picking task. Dave led a short warm up and welcomed new runner Bex. It was also great to have Leigh, Lee and Louise back with the gang after a time away. Lindsay led the group on a 1.5 mile jog along the river with Jimmy as the back marker. When the group arrived at Bede Park, Mel, Lee and Louise had prepared the litter pickers and bin bags for us. With the presence of the camera crew we had attracted attention from the locals who were on the park. One chap asked if he could help and was soon at work looking for litter, on his departure he shook hands with Dave and said we were doing a good job. The BBC filmed the litter picking task and followed the GG runners around the park. Nic, Frank, Jim and Dave were then interviewed about the benefits of GG, the tasks and their involvement. After light refreshments the fitness task consisted of circuits - hops, flying 20s tree sits and use of the outdoor gym. Find of the night was an NHS issue childs crutch which we shall duly return to the Leicester Royal Infirmary. Finally the jog back to DMU for the cool down,again filmed by the crew. Keep a lookout on the Leicester GG facebook page for details of the broadcast time and date! Thanks all for a great turnout tonight.
