Jonny and Narendra joined the Friends of Perry Common Meadows on a wonderful sunny morning at Perry Common. Yes, for once it wasn't raining!

Narendra had done a run around the common before we started and Jonny arrived on his bike.

We met at the Tiny Forest and got to work litter pick. Both GG'ers got a full bag of rubbish. Jonny certainly got to gym in GoodGym with a very heavy bag to carry back from the car park to the Tiny Forest. The biceps were certainly screaming!

Once done, Narendra joined the rest of the group in the cafe after the group pic of course :)

Tonight Narendra joined a GG task for the first time as we did a brief litter pick around St Pauls Square, managing to get a whole bag in 10 minutes. Excellent work!

After the litter pick we were met by James and joined the weekly COBS social run.

Great effort by everyone on a cold and wet evening!

Tonight was Jonny's running session, with Marcus the new area activator for Worcester joining us, along with Javis doing his 2nd GG session.

We warmed up running to Millenium Point our destination for our interval session. The session was a 'mixed pace workout' which was 4 x 30 second efforts, off 30 seconds rest, followed by 4 x 3 minute efforts off 1 min jog recoveries, then to finish 4 x 1 minute off 1 minute jog. Both Marcus and Javis certainly gave it the full beans!

Once done we went to the Carrs Lane Church to complete our litter pick before heading back to the Good Intent.

We had a great session at St. Martin’s Church, with 6 of us sanding and painting the lower ground corridor. It was brilliant to welcome Javis and Zoe, both doing their first mission with Goodgym! Some of us rolled the wider wall spaces, some brushed paint into those nooks and crannies, while others had the ceilings covered! Fantastic team effort with the whole corridor looking fresh with a full first coat of paint by the end of the mission. 😊

Tonight GG Brum were back on the hills! Yep it was the coached running session led by Jonny.

We ran around 1k to the Mailbox where we'd do a hill session. The session was some hill strides to start with to improve form, then it was into 10 minutes of Kenyan Hills. This was then followed with some lactic hill sprints! Both Eve and Emily worked very hard, going literally flat out on the hill sprints!

Once done we headed back to the Good Intent to collect the litter pickers for a quick litter pick around the Carrs Lane Church.

We had a lovely run for our traditional loop round the Bournville area, culminating at the famous tree!! Laura, Morwenna, Eve, Rich, Abigail and Veronika joined me on the run- with everyone else meeting in the pub afterwards for a Christmas bev and also to say goodbye to my gallbladder which will hopefully be removed tomorrow!

Thanks all for a fab send off!
