Happy Birthday to us! #GG10

Sheffield Report written by Tom Mutton

Well well well, we have turned 10 #GG10!

We had a swanky new GG flag from GGHQ to commemorate the birthday so we put it to good use in our group photo before leaving our home of the Showroom tonight.

We welcomed new runner Fe Wells to tonights run and she got a huge round of applause for making it to her first group run, hopefully the first of many! Give her a cheer and support Fe by clicking on her name above!

This week we were off to help out at Lynwood Gardens, the 'pocket forest' of Sheffield which hosts a woodland Kindergarten amongst other things!

This weeks task involved;

  • Sything
  • Lopping
  • Chip spreading
  • Path clearing
  • Nettle cutting
  • Tree weaving!

After a good session the place was looking so much better for a bit of GG love!

On route back we got in some FANTASTIC FITNESS, the order of the eve included:

  • Stair squats
  • Wall sits
  • One legged chair squats
  • Loop backs

Once we were back at base and stretched off we heard from the big red man himself Ivo about where GG is up to after 10 years and our lovely Sheffield runners read some words of what GG meant to people which was a great way to finish the eve.

Until next time, happy running :)

Highly Functioning Cyclepaths

Sheffield Report written by Stephen Gilmer

26 runners joined us this week for another session with Sustrans to help clear some of the city's cycle paths.

We had three four runners join us for the first time, Callum, Kate, David and Linda, we hope to see you all again soon!

Everything seemed a little bit the wrong way round on our way to the task, back markers at the front, intervals in the opposite direction to where we were going etc, but the group stuck together nicely and we all arrived together, with some of the more speedy members of the pack having covered and extra bit of ground.

Sustrans Simon was on hand to show us what needed our attention, the Virgin Cycle path, the Round Sheffield Run link section and the Road to Nowhere, we split into three teams and began work. The overgrown vegetation and litter were no match for the teams and the full width of several sections of the path soon became evident.

Once we were finished Simon said thanks, and mentioned that the local business owner had popped by to say thank you too. There were several cyclist and runners using the paths who also expressed their appreciation.

We headed back to base, picking up a couple of Strava segments on the way and stopped off just by the Showroom for a combined fitness and stretch session led by Sarah, a great way to finish off the run and make sure we're ready for the next one...

Kate Wightman earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.

Kate completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Kate was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

No Snakes and Ladders - Just Scaling Ladders :)

Sheffield Report written by Sheffield runner

5 GoodGymers joined the Alexandra Road Garden Volunteers this month to clear ivy and Russian vine from the Great Garden Wall of Heeley; and we welcomed new GoodGymer Kate at her first GG Sheffield Community Mission :)

Scaling great heights Jane, Simon and Kate got to work on cutting down the masses from the top, with 'Keep Safe! :)' Kat footing Kate's ladder, and Ash, Sarah and James pulling back the ivy from ground level and collecting and tidying up clippings.

The morning was topped off with a cup of Jane's lovely tea, biscuits, fruit and a chat.

Branching out into supporting a diverse fruit market GGr 'James and the Giant Peach', helped pick plums from the garden for GGrs to try. They were lovely.

Please join us next month, and bring a bag to take home some tasty apples from the garden that will be ripe for picking.
