Goodgym Elves with sticky fingers
11 GoodGymers made their way 5.3km to help the Age UK Sheffield - Gathering Ground in Sheffield.

On a not too chilly November evening we had one of our longest runs to a group run task at just over 5km each way. After a very brief warm up and count off we set off on our journey.
The team stayed motivated on the mostly uphill route to Hillsborough, knowing that we had a fantastic winter indoor task set up by Amazing Alex from Age UK to get to, as well as the satisfaction from feeling the muscle burn from those hills - the best runs are the ones you still feel the next day right?
Once at the Pavilion we counted the runners in and I breathed a sigh of relief that we hadn't lost anyone. This in no small part to Backmarker extraordinaire Serg, and the group effort on navigating our way through trendy Kelham.
Heading indoors we saw the 4 keen Goodgym elves that had gone direct to the task getting stuck into the shiny paper and pritt stick. A very well organised set up by Alex meant that GG Sheffield got straight to task, using our artistic flare to create as many Christmas cards for the Age UK volunteers as we could in the time. Although we were speedy, quality was ensured by our QA Manager Michelle, providing appropriate feedback where it was due.
In no time at all our time was up and after a quick refreshment and group photo we headed back into the night and the super streets of Sheffield.

🤣 I was only kidding. Note to all: ending up with the cards you imagine in your head is harder than you think!!
the best runs are the ones you still feel the next day, lol!
