SESSION ORGANISER
Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Steven Hitcham
We had a good turnout tonight for a 10km+ route.
It did however mark Henry's last run before he goes on his adventure of learning to be ski instructor in Japan, as you do. Thanks for your time you've put into GoodGym and have a blast.
The task in hand was prickling seeds and weeding at The Grow Your Community in Sprowston... or as we say in Norfolk "Sprewston". This was only the 2nd organisation we've re visited on more than one occasion.
Simon was back runner this week but we kept the group as close together as we could as it was a long distance but I was very impressed that we made it there and back in an average of 11.09 minute miles!
After a 2nd or 3rd attempt at a warm-up (1st we got moved and told to be quiet as there was some kind of cult vigil going on and then a drunk tried to join in on our run while smoking) we set off on the long journey.
A few of the guys did some weeding outside while the rest of the crew were in the greenhouse prickling the seeds. I was impressed how in a matter of minutes they already had a production line set up. These guys never fail to impress me... apart from when Alex tried watering the plants and the end of the watering can fell off and it flooded them hahaha.
After a good 30 minutes of solid work, we did another quick warm up as we'd stiffened up a bit (no pun intended) and headed back on the long return route to The Forum. We finished up with a little walk through the Xmas Light Tunnel.
My apologies for not providing biscuits, especially with it being a long run... I O U.
Next week we're visiting Hayden Court.
