Almost half the group on today's task were making their Goodgym debut!

A big welcome to Laura , Anna, Jenny , Nicole, Kathryn and Mandy. It was wonderful to have you join us and I hope you enjoyed your first taste of Goodgym. It's always good to see the familiar faces of the regular crew too!!

It was a bit chilly but dry so after a brief warm up we set off on a loop taking in the whole of Ipswich Waterfront, avoiding what appeared to be some kind of pokemon convention with crowds of people staring at their phones all along our route! Daniella took on our back marker role with Andrew volunteering to be walk leader ( with no takers!) Thanks to both of you for your help today.

With my car strategically placed containing our litter pickers, bags and gloves, we regrouped and "tooled up" for some "plogging" along the river path on behalf of Rivercare

Splitting into two groups - one heading out to the Bridge marking the boundary of the river segment we wanted to cover - and the other starting from the Skate Park end. Within 30 minutes the groups met up with Jenny claiming kudos for the only notable "find" a pair of old pants!

We then took a direct route back to the Uni to finish the session with little running based strength circuit - step ups, and squats mixed with press ups, planks and dips - Oh what fun we had!

Fabulous work from everyone!

Our next Group run will be a relatively short one as we head to one our favourite venues, Brickmakers Wood on Monday evening - Find out more info and sign up HERE
