ITS A RECORD!
WHAT A TURN OUT, WOW!
Big welcome to new runners who came for the first time, hope you enjoyed it and will be along next week. BIG CHEERS FOR;
Amber Cagney, Laura, Jennifer, Hawa Ould-Ahmed, Thomas Paul Archer, Alex Lynch, Dan Twort, and Jess Zollman Thomas!
Also HUGE congrats to Helen who winged her way to 100 good deeds tonight and to Rachel who was on her 50th good deed! GREAT WORK BOTH!
This week we were back off to HEELEY PEOPLES PARK (HPP) to help HEELEY DEVELOPMENT TRUST (HDT) with the upkeep of this fantastic community owned and maintained park.
We split into 2 groups, with Sam and Tom taking a group and Steve and Kim taking another.
On arrival to HPP we met with FANTASTIC FRANK who gave us the low down on HDT and the park and what the task was going to be tonight.
Armed with very useful lights PARKY ROB got the first group straight to work doing the MONSTER MULCH, loading buckets and barrows with mulch that was spread over three parts of the park;
On arrival, the second group got another brief from Frank and mucked in with the first group who were already set up with the task and had an efficient line of fillers, carriers and spreaders on the go!
In Rob's words; 'You can't go deep enough'
So we pilled it high, creating a soft landing for all users of the park's fantastic boulder and park facilities.
During loading of said barrows and buckets, some interesting things were overheard....
Adam, stop soiling on my feet!
Thanks so mulch...
Mounds good
Thank you very mulch
Spread the love
At the end of the task Frank and Rob thanked all and mentioned that the most mulch they had ever spread in a single session was 2 van loads and we had done three in 45mins, so this was another record for the night!
We waved goodbye to the park, Frank & Rob and headed to another park for a spot of fitness were there was TRIPLE TROUBLE in store.
We got into teams of three and each member complete a set of the following, tagging team mates along to the next exercise as they finished the previous;
It was a fantastic evening of running, fitness and good deeding!
Until next time, happy running! :)

Welcome to new runner Mike Smith! Give him a cheer!
We headed for another return visit to Abbeydale Picture House, whereupon we split into groups to carry out a variety of RENOVATION tasks:
Thanks to SUPER STEVE for organising things there.
On the way back we stopped for some FITNESS, starting with some BOX JUMPS before pairing up for QUADRUPLE TROUBLE. A repeat (on a grander scale) of last weeks meet & retreat paired exercise where pairs started at opposite ends, met in the middle for a high 5 and ran back to their start point to complete 10 reps of an exercise before sprinting back to meet their partner for another high 5 and the next exercise.
On the last leg to base at the Showroom we squeezed in a couple of SPRINTS too.
Well done to HEROIC HELEN for reaching 50 good deeds. There is now a bow tie to commemorate the achievement. She was the first lucky recipient to wear it!
I reached 100 good deeds, and as such got to lead the session sporting the Sheffield GG angel wings and winged helmet ensemble.

A huge welcome to 3 new GG runners;
Give em a whoop, hola and a cheer!
We kicked things off this week with a welcome to the above new runners and Kylee who has made the wise move of moving from the big smoke to the Green City, a long time GG'er but new to GGSHEFF, WELCOME!
On arrival at Lynwood gardens we got gloved up and heard the brief from our main man PAPPA G who got us straight to work and sorted into teams;
Everyone got straight to work in rapid speed not letting the overgrown nettles or misty rain hamper our efforts. Rob was so impressed with his piles he wanted to show everyone and those weeds didn't stand a chance with expert SHEAF LANDSCAPES HEAD GARDENER SYTHING SAM taking out the nasties his gardening wizardry. In a short space of time you could really notice the difference with a huge impact being made in all areas. At the end of our time we Regathered our thoughts & tools and finished up by raking it in to leave a clean & tidy path for all users of the park. Gareth mentioned how many comments he gets from the park users after we have been in and how much of a difference it makes!
Until next week, happy running!
