A lot of great news this week: Massive congrats to Hannah and Doc for completing the Brighton marathon; also congrats to Bob for a parkrun PB and Tav for a 10k PB in Brighton too! A big hooray to Emily for her 50th GoodGym Good Deed! Finally a very happy birthday to Michelle who we will have to sing to next week!
Lovely sunny day = happy GoodGym faces and even a few tanned arms turning up at Leisure World.
Limbered up outside Leisure World with some high knees and stretches, led by Tav.
Our front marker Emily led us off to the allotment where Pam was eagerly awaiting.
Trimming, weeding and watering were the tasks of the evening. Pam was, as usual, very happy with the work we carried out and excitedly showed us the fruits of our last labour which we had spent digging holes for the planting of trees.
Marathon heroes Hannah and Doc were celebrated in our fitness challenge: to run 26 railway bridge sprints between us in two teams.
Excellent competitive sprinting from all, we then made our way back to Leisure World to complete Tav’s task: the creation of a human GoodGym logo.
Never underestimate the skills of Good Gym Colchester’s human masterpieces. A great group effort (and Ian finally in the right position 😉) resulted in an almighty GG we should all be thoroughly proud of.
Training ended with a squat hold competition. Well done to four winners: Vanessa, Helen, Bob and Carl!
Stats:
14 runners
Run: 4 kilometers
Sprints: 26 in teams
Tricep dips: many
Squat hold: up to 2mins 30 seconds
Smiles: loads
Spade, trowel and fork action: epic.
