As I arrived towards The Forum I was praying several Good Gym runners would also be braving the rain this evening... it pretty much had been raining all day in Norwich non stop and it wasn't looking like it was going to disappear anytime soon... but of course the weather doesn't stop our runners at GoodGym, we go out in all conditions and in fact we had our 2nd largest group run so far!

It was great to welcome new GoodGym runners Catherine, Carl, Karen and Melanie.

Tonight's task was to move a big pile of wood at a Scout Group in Lakenham

Our run took us through the picturesque Lakenham Way, a route I myself have never been down before. Tonight's pace was pretty fast too, I was impressed with every runner and back runner Laura ensured the newer runners were well supported.

On arrival we saw a big pile of wood and were thinking "we ain't going to get all that moved surely!"

Alun greeted us and explained where it all needed moving to, our GoodGym volunteers got there Gloves on and there was never wasting time, they got stuck straight in.

The wood was in all shapes and sizes and my favourite quote of the evening was Lydia's "I've got a really long one".

The guys smashed the task and were getting a little excited that they might have an early finish (shame they didn't know what I had in-store for them).

Once we packed up and said thanks to Alun, we started to head back and this was when I announced we would (well they would) be doing a circuit session in Chapelfield Gardens when we got back... cue several moans and groans and offers to do other tasks at the Scout Group hahaha.

We arrived at Chapelfield Gardens and I did a quick head count to make sure no-one skived off. We started with a continuous circuit (AMRAP) of burpees, saints, star jumps and bear crawls :-) this was also the time where I was no longer anyone's friend. After this everyone thought it was all over... but I had other intentions so to finish up they had to do the 600 metre perimeter of Chapelfield Gardens as quickly as possible.

Another fantastic turnout and a great evening with an awesome bunch of people.

Details of next week's run ... get signed up :-)
