6 runners braced the chill and ran to the YMCA Barnsley to help with a painting task.

This week, 6 runners made their way to the YMCA Barnsley to help with freshening up their indoor space. The changing rooms next to the sports hall were in need of a good lick of paint and we were happy to get stuck in.

After a lovely welcome and quick brief from Jeff, we divided up into twos and split ourselves between two cubicles and the main washroom, rotating between using the ladder and using rollers and brushes.

It got slightly crowded at one point so Sarah and Clair stepped out to make some space, they were tasked with some squats, push-ups, mountain climbers and burpees - let's trust that the circuit was completed...

A good coating of magnolia later and we were ready to say goodbye to Jeff and make our way back out into the evening.

Everyone pushed themselves hard on the hill segment that is Fitzwilliam Street and we all made it to the top without stopping, a really great effort from everybody.

Back at base and there was a special celebration in order... tonight was our member James's 200th good deed, a truly fantastic achievement and amazing effort. We thanked James for coming all the way from Sheffield and making the effort he does every week, it is recognised and truly appreciated. Thank you James and well done! 🎉🎉🎉🎂
