... hopefully this will get shortlisted for 'Pun of the Month' hehe.

Considering we had a run of around 8.5km to conquer tonight and the fact it was bl00dy cold, I was very humbled to see 23 GoodGym faces appear to visit West Earlham Woods to do a litter pick.

We welcomed new runner Erica to the group - thanks Anna for bringing another newbie along.

The Emerson sisters - Catherine, Helen & Sarah then talked through their eventful Mission they did at the weekend. A few of us had been on a long run on Sunday before attempting (especially in my case!) to play the Cello at Bill & Katy's, it took me about 5 minutes just to hold the bow right... think I'll just stick to my running!

We warmed up inside the The Forum tonight and went through some gentle jogging routines, hip mobility exercises and squat jumps... then off to the task we went.

Noel greeted us there with litter pickers and large sacks (hehe). It was at this point we established that this was going to be no normal litter pick. By the end it felt like we'd just picked litter from a landfill site - there were wheels, tyres, rails, mattresses, curtain blinds, Tom's UFO and what Catherine found I don't even now how to try and describe it!

All in all a very satisfying litter pick.

We headed back to The Forum when halfway our back-runners missed the turning so added a little extra more to their trip back, apparently Calum can take the blame! Chloe was running her longest ever distance tonight as it is so was very thankful for the extra bit Calum ;-)

For those who didn't miss the turning, were then getting some interesting looks as I put them through some partner exercises on the Earlham ring road roundabout.

Great job yet again everyone, I just made it to the UEA in time to see Don Broco... I wish Tuesday could be a sleep day (get your little violins out)

Next week we have more painting at The Hamlet Charity.

Calum gets to take the credit for this week's pun... think of the Glee song.

It was pretty chilly tonight but at least it was a dry evening. There was so much lycra and fluorescent colours I thought I was at a cyclist's rave.

Anna brought her husband Will along this evening for his 1st GoodGym encounter.

Well done to Michelle and Catherine for completing the Winter Run 10km in London at the weekend with Michelle getting a PB!

I had to mention that we managed to finish top of our division in the GoodGym January Challenge and amassed over 2,000 kms, it really was a fantastic effort by everyone.

Tonight we were heading to Eaton Park to do some cleaning tasks around the Grade II listed band stand building so had significant value. It was about 3km each-way and was a pretty brisk jog there!

Helen and her group from Friends of Eaton Park greeted us with buckets and cloths, we then spread out and pretty much cleaned all we could around the band stand area.

As always, someone used their initiative and when they ran out of something to do they suggested we do a quick litter pick around the area of the building so the last 5 minutes was spent doing that.

After a quick group photo, we headed back to The Forum. I was hoping to squeeze in a short fitness session at the end but sadly there wasn't enough time... so instead when we got to a pedestrian crossing I made everyone cross doing the duck walk - like a little family of ducks haha.

Next week we're visiting West Earlham Woods. Please note we will finish at 8.30pm next week as it's a longer run of around 4.25km each-way.
