It was nice to finally have a Monday evening where it didn't rain at all!
Sean was taking part in his 1st GoodGym encounter so a big welcome!
Bill and Elizabeth were backrunners.
This evening we were doing our quarterly visit to Eaton Park, a nice little 3km each-way route. This was after we did a little warm-up in The Forum, which consisted of relay runs, lunges and frog jumps (part of the pun!).
The tasks this week were to clean all of the benches around the band stand ahead of a carol concert and to clear the leaves (another part of the pun!) around the lilly pond.
It was a fairly quick task so after 30 minutes we set off back and it still left me with 5 minutes for a fitness session, which included a pairs workout consisting of squats and sit-ups ;-)
This was followed up with a deserved trip to the pub.
**Next week we're visiting Norwich Food Bank.

We had the pleasure of ITV News filming us tonight ahead of a live piece being aired tomorrow evening at 6pm.
A big welcome to Sophie and Amanda who were taking part in their 1st GoodGym experience.
Thank you to Katy for being back runner and Emily for being walk leader.
The warm up felt a little different this week (as in I felt the pressure haha) as the cameraman was on us. It was very cold so we definitely needed the warm up to warm and mobilise our muscles and joints.
We then headed off to Adat Yeshua to paint a 2nd coat on the new foodbank walls, weed the outside area and do a litter pick nearby. I split the team into 3 roughly same sized groups and they went on to do their tasks.
The litter pickers made no hesitation and were off cleaning the local area. The weeders... well blink for a minute and the place was transformed and ready for bulbs to be set in the spring. The painters soon had their rollers out and a bit of improvisation (a broom handle) meant Helen could paint the ceilings although I think she had quite a bit of it over her face and in her hair.
On the way back we stopped off in Chapelfield Gardens for a sprint session - Brad thought he was coming home in 1st place before Kevin pipped him on the line, a great effort by everyone at the end of the night.
Next week, we're visiting Norwich Food Bank.
