The night was dark, and the rain had already begun, but 11 GoodGymers still turned up to ****sort the junk from the trunk...

Following a warm up including elbowing the people behind us in tesco, kneeing the people in front of us and having a temper tantrum - promise these are drills and no one was harmed in tesco or any other local shops in our warmup.

We turned away from Leamington to loop round past the park for some games. Due to the monsoon coming in we did our fitness before the session. Rising Damp ensued during the game due to the downpour. A fun game of Turtles began, the aim in teams is to flip your turtles (cones - no turtles were harmed we promise) onto their backs or onto their tummies. Lots of sprints and shouting encouragement - ok Becky shouted a lot, a winner was announced. To make it fair we mixed the game up and another (same) winner was announced. In true GoodGym style it was agreed that it looked more like a draw...

Luckily for us the Park we were stationed by the police which coincidentally was by the building we needed. So we **Stepped up to help Kids Run Free - literally 6 flights of stairs.

Our task involved helping clear the junk, create recycling piles and check equipment for the big move. We didn't find any **Trunks but we found lots of elephants - three boxes to be precise (medals that needed to be spilt from ribbon to recycle)

There was a Stake Out on the top floor - sorting the stakes for the kids runs into packs.

And the Rubbish team - who were the opposite and very good, sorting an amazing amount of stuff to be recycled, or organised with labels to be used again.

Having moved all the recycling to another room there was some lying down on the job for a quick photo.

Emerging from the office we had a quick dash home including using those high knees to avoid the puddles.

Massive welcome to new runner Maeve on her first GoodGym run with us.

If this sounds like fun then join us next week as we return for Part Two at Kids Run Free. Please bring some puns as these **will soon wear thin on the next round.

A small 'Cherry' picked group ran to Leaflet for the Syndi Centre this week, Cherry picked being the word, as Cherry our lovely runner who travels the furthest to run with us from Worcester did a sterling run this week. The loop back group didn't have much looping back to do.

Following a warm up, with 'temper tantrums' galore - thanks to Mel for her version of fast feet, we ran a new route to the Syndenham Estate.

Splitting into two groups we covered the area with our super fast feet, taking on an effort session at the same time, with sprints and then recovery posting... The target area was covered in super quick time, and a few photos were taken, although the light wasn't the best. We did however find the best window decoration for Christmas.

On our return leg, we overtook a group of Christmas Walkers all dressed up in antlers and boppers and even managed to collect an extra runner at the lights, wearing his posh shoes and Christmas party clothes he joined us for half a mile. Hopefully we have a new recruit for next week, clearly we really are the most friendly running group out there.....

Back at base we did a cool down and then (due to Becky having a new phone) squatted for 10 secs to take our selfie....

Massive thanks to those that came along last night, we may have been the smallest group yet but we certainly smashed the task. Lovely to see Helen back for her second run and massive well done to Gavin for doing an extra loop so that he completed his 9k challenge.

Can't wait to see you all next week - don't forget to bring your best Christmas outfits......
