What's this? Sun at 6.30pm - I could get used to this!

Yes - It's true. The clocks have gone forward. And if you didn't realise this by Monday morning then I guess you turned up 1 hour late for work! This means we are going to be blessed with light for the whole duration of our Tuesday evening runs until the end of Summer. You can pack away those headtorches for the time being and get your sunscreen at the ready!

This week we did a headcount and we shared our favourite thing to do in the summer. Llion mentioned how he enjoyed watching the Cricket. Mali said how she enjoyed going to the beach. This summer we definitely need a GoodGym BBQ... Count me in! This week, coming all the way from Canada, we had Samantha join us for her first ever GoodGym run - **Welcome to GoodGym Samantha!!! We hope you enjoyed the run and come again :)

We also congratulated the runners who took part in the Earth Hour activities, Parkrun and the Cardiff Bay 10k run! Mail managed to run a PB, shaving 1 minute off her previous record!

It's time to get warmed up

Warming up the muscles so that they are ready for exercise is essential to prevent injury. To warm up, we did a warm up jog, did butt kicks, high knees and then had a game of fish and chips that involved short sprint drills and intense star jumps.

Let's get our run on... Are you a speedy gonzalez? Are you a sexy runner? Or are you a walkie talkie?

There were 3 different groups runners could opt to join this evening. Those who want to run fast and hard could join the group led by Adam. Runners who wanted to run at a slightly more relaxed pace could join the sexy group, led by Welsh Dave. And the runners who wanted to take it easy, walk and talk, could join the group led by Ben.

Welcome to the Tenovus Charity Shop

Carl welcomed us in and told us about the history of the Tevous shop. Ben and Adam also spoke about their recent visit to the Tenovus Research laboratories. Carl had listed all the tasks he needed support with on a whiteboard - Nicely organised... I like it!

The tasks included:

• Steaming and hanging up clothes
• Pricing up DVD's and books
• Reorganising the jewellery

Everyone got stuck in. Ellen got quite enthusiastic with the pricing gun and began pricing GoodGym runners... most were valued at £4.00 - A bargain! Rosie took the opportunity for personal shop. Charlotte and Emma spent time organising the jewelery... it was all wonderfully presented after they'd finished.

Let's play a quick game... who can find the most expensive item in the shop?

A game which I thought would take 2 minutes took only a matter of seconds. Everyone was instantly drawn to the harry potter sorting hat... I mean the leather hat that hung high in the corner of the room. If you look through the photos you can see a photo of the hat... Can you guess how much it cost though? Comment at the bottom with your guesses...

Thank you so much for your help - Your support is invaluable

Before we made tracks, Carl thanked us for running to help at the Tenovus Shop. He then waved us goodbye with a smile.

The speedy and sexy runners joined forces together and ran back as one group, The walkie talkies kept as a single group. On the way back everyone stopped at a local park for a brief fitness session, going over and under obstacles. After about 10 minutes runners headed back towards town and back to Big Moose.

When they arrived back to Big Moose they stretched to cool down and reflect on the evening's run.

Well done to Rosie who came up with the Pun for the Run!
