Calum gets to take the credit for this week's pun... think of the Glee song.

It was pretty chilly tonight but at least it was a dry evening. There was so much lycra and fluorescent colours I thought I was at a cyclist's rave.

Anna brought her husband Will along this evening for his 1st GoodGym encounter.

Well done to Michelle and Catherine for completing the Winter Run 10km in London at the weekend with Michelle getting a PB!

I had to mention that we managed to finish top of our division in the GoodGym January Challenge and amassed over 2,000 kms, it really was a fantastic effort by everyone.

Tonight we were heading to Eaton Park to do some cleaning tasks around the Grade II listed band stand building so had significant value. It was about 3km each-way and was a pretty brisk jog there!

Helen and her group from Friends of Eaton Park greeted us with buckets and cloths, we then spread out and pretty much cleaned all we could around the band stand area.

As always, someone used their initiative and when they ran out of something to do they suggested we do a quick litter pick around the area of the building so the last 5 minutes was spent doing that.

After a quick group photo, we headed back to The Forum. I was hoping to squeeze in a short fitness session at the end but sadly there wasn't enough time... so instead when we got to a pedestrian crossing I made everyone cross doing the duck walk - like a little family of ducks haha.

Next week we're visiting West Earlham Woods. Please note we will finish at 8.30pm next week as it's a longer run of around 4.25km each-way.
