Regatherin' in the Rain
18 GoodGymers made their way 5.3km to help the Regather in Sheffield.
- Monday, 14th of August 2017
- Led by Sam Needham
With regular run leader Terrific Tom away on his hols, the not so Slick Sam led proceedings this week.
We ran to Regather, the likes of Swift Suze and Super Sarah taking the opportunity to fartlek between the lamp posts on The Moor on the way there.
Gallant Gareth of Regather fame then went through the tasks with everyone.
- Painting. Grey paint over old graffiti. 2 sides. Race!
- Root racing. 2 hefty roots to remove.
- Re-homing rosemary & other plants too.
- Hoeing
- Litter picking
The paint crew duly painted the lower section of the Regather HQ wall in record time. Spider-Man Mike made sure the hard to reach bits were duly reached.
Both roots succumbed to the stubbornness of the roots manuva crews, which means no root at Regather has yet defeated us. One of them took slightly over the time limit, but it was worth the wait.
The rain then set in, but it was warm summer rain - so that was okay. We did a few circuits of Regather, which included:
- Lunges
- Sumo squats
- Tri dips
...before heading off for a bit of a detour back to The Showroom, in which we did a few hill sprints.
The group ran just over 5k all in, including those pesky hills, finishing with stretches and a drink in the bar as usual.
Normal service will return next week with the return of Tom.
