Plank-ing Hell

Monday 19th March 2018

Written by Steven Hitcham

Well tonight felt like the coldest GoodGym run I've taken part in so far, really wish I'd have worn more layers.

Despite the cold we still had 2 new runners in Jenny and Catherine. Welcome to GoodGym ladies.

Bill decided to run up Gas Hill again as a warm-up on his way.

Another short run tonight and we visited John Drake House Youth Hostel.

The tasks ahead included: turning over soil, litter pick, weeding, cleaning windows and general clearing up. So there was plenty to do, the tools were there ready and the GoodGym Norwich crew got stuck in.

The highlight of the evening was when a Deliveroo guy delivered a Wagamama's take away to one of the residents but somehow dropped in all over the floor. We did offer to help clean it up!

After the task it was off to Chapelfield Gardens for a bit of an efforts running session.

To finish up with we did a 'plank challenge' at The Forum. It came down to the last 3 of myself Bill and Sarah. Bill reluctantly gave in and then I felt bad if I'd have won so I gave in and let Sarah be victorious.

... I couldn't not mention the fact Helen had to be barefoot at this point due to standing in dog poo ;-)

We have an indoor task next week when we visit the Oxfam Charity Shop.
