Dennis was not such a menace

After another stormy weekend and a Monday full of deluges the gods were on our side and the evening cleared to be a mild and relatively still one.

Together with a window in the weather it was another great turn out from my 15 strong gang tonight. Belinda rocked up modeling the GG red hoody that she and John had designed and purchased. Everyone wanted to try it on and we had to virtually peel it off Jay after all his selfie attempts wearing it.

We split into 3 groups for the warm with Nick,Clare and Barbara wasting no time setting off walking followed by the runners who formed 2 groups with Jay, Duncan, Steve and Paul up front followed by Daisy, Sue,Lucy, Tamsin together with Natacha keeping John entertained ( naturellement)

Paint at heart

This evening we were heading back to our friends at Kamelia Kids to give a helping hand with their new project of creating a sensory room for the children to enjoy plus a few other jobs too. Yet again we had an inside cosy task which has been a nice feature of this winter. In a few short weeks we will be heading outside again so enjoy the warmth while it lasts!

We were warmly met by our friend and caretaker Andy who had stayed late to keep the centre open for us . He had already been advised that we had grown in numbers since our last visit so had planned a plethora of jobs and equipment for us. Clare helped by Nick painted a door just inside reception whilst the rest of the team headed out back with the majority in the sensory room and others in the main playroom but all either wiping down or painting. John even got to play with his toys too and I didn't see a single one flying......

30 short minutes later it was brushes down, a quick photo and a promise to return a few more times to give Andy a hand before the official opening of the sensory room and garden on 2nd May.

With a pre fitness session injury check (ha ha! gotcha) the team were briefed on their surprise drill for the final part of the evening. In the same groups as before and clear instructions to meet at the bottom of the hill outside Field Place off we all went.

A bridge too far

With extra mileage this evening together with hill sprints the team notched it up a level with their efforts. They all smashed out between 4 and 6 repetitions of Shaftsbury bridge including full on sprints, heel flicks and arm and body alignment technique. I think Paul summed up the session quite nicely whilst we were stretching with his quote of the evening welcome the f$k back

#Be Kind

On a day which was epitomised with this hashtag I can,without hesitation say that GG Worthing are #kind. My group are kind to each other and kind to themselves. Without a doubt they spread love,fun and good vibes wherever they go. I'm so very proud to have them all on my team ❤️

Hoping for a wonderful energy filled and healthy week for you all. Good Luck Sue and Paul at the Brighton half marathon. Run like the wind! Also to Duncan doing a 10k up north somewhere (did I hear Huddersfield mentioned?)
