Let's not waste anytime, there's rubbish to clear!
12 GoodGymers made their way 4.0km to help their local community in Colchester.
- Wednesday, 7th of March 2018
- Led by Fay Sibley
12 keen GoodGymers gathered at our usual spot, eager to do some good after the disappointment of a forced week off due to the snow. With the weather markedly milder spirits were high and the team welcomed new runner Carl *who made his GoodGym debut and congratulated *Dan on his lovely new red tshirt….Tav even had his legs out!
After a quick warm up and the most successful head count ever the team headed off for a run around lower castle park, dodging huge puddles, sticks and cyclists. We stopped and did a quick round of burpes before scrambling back to our feet and continuing on our way. Once we were back on well lit paths we organised ourselves into single file and saw the return of SNAKE! Tommy found himself at the back more than once following a crafty switch but not even last nights 10 miler could slow those youthful legs down!
We headed back in to leisure world and collected the litter pick equipment before heading out to the skatepark and fields surrounding the car park. Once inside the skate park the team saw an opportunity for some more fun and frolics – *Ella, Tommy, Carl, Dan and Fay *lined themselves up for a race to the lamppost. After one false start and some pushing and shoving they were off with Tommy returning as the victor and Ella hot on his heals. After the litter pick we used the skatepark to work on our fitness with 30 second circuits and a little bit of grumbling!
Great work everyone – see you next week
