A big GG welcome to new runners to Julia Cobham and Sarah McPherson for attending their first run! Hope you enjoyed it and will be back for more soon!

Hannah was also on her 100th good deed and therefore donned the now customary wings and helmet for the honor.

*Give em a cheer! *

This week's run was longer than usual and true to Sheff town's wonderful form it was hilly, 20% in some places!

Everyone did a sterling job with regular regroups at the tops of climbs to admire the cities beautiful sights as the sun crested the cities skyline.

This week's task was for Sheffield futures, a fantastic organisation supporting young people. We were helping out this week at Woodthorpe Youth Centre. This week's tasks included:

1- Painting : Primer to window grills x4 people 2 - Painting : Primer to handrail x3 people ( inc wire brushing ) 3 - Painting : Primer to selected areas of sculptures ( inc clear overgrown grass from underneath with shears and wire brushing ) x 2 people 4 - Painting : Primer to goal posts ( inc wire brushing and shears to cut overgrown grass at base of posts ) 2 people 5- Cutting (with shears ) overgrown grass areas on path , around trees and perimeter fencing 1 - 6 people 6 - Clear detritus from car park area 2 people 7 - Clear Astro turf area of debris 1-2 people 8 - Paving weeding - 2 people 9 - Cutting back overgrown bush area at side of football pitch 1-2 people

Everyone got reyt stuck in to the tasks and as the task was a further run we unfortunately had less time than usual on the tasks. We did what we could however which with 30 people on the jobs was still a decent amount!

On route back we threw in some fitness with some step ups and 'Beatles Lunges across the zebra crossing (the cars loved it honest...).

Back at base we stretched off and heard the latest GG happenings past and future.

Until next time, happy running!

Team Leader Tom found he had an urgent appointment in South America and so it fell to Capable Chris to get his hands dirty for his first time as run leader and guide 37 super Sheffield runners to Heeley Peoples’ Park for an excursion into the undergrowth. Michelle proudly wore her red bow tie to celebrate her 50th Good Gym mission. Setting out from the Showroom in the light was a great start to the evening as we made our way to the task and a meeting with Heeley Park stalwarts Andy, Rob and Bev. On arrival we had a quick briefing and the announcement of a competition: which team can gather the most Sticky Willy in the time available? Sam, Harris and Kat lead their groups away under the trees and the race was on. Three large dump bags were filled in quick time and, in the interests of group harmony, the outcome was declared a draw. From the park we headed back to the Showroom with a detour for some circuits, along with box jumps, dead hangs, push-ups and triceps dips along the way. Once back we had a stretching session and dealt with a full week of announcements for upcoming Good Gym events. Sadly we had to say Goodbye to Michelle , who is off for an adventure in Mull, while Sioned is returning to Bristol: we will all miss you both. And finally, Good Luck and Good Running to all the intrepid Good Gymers running the Sheffield Half Marathon on Sunday, the cheer squad will be out to help you along.
