With the recent snow now melted away, it was a positively tropical 5 degrees as Ipswich Goodgymers gathered tonight.

Most of the chatter revolved around who had been successful in securing an entry to the Woodbridge 10k race which opened for entries at midday on Saturday and had sold out of places by 12.36

Stories of the website freezing at the vital moment unable to cope with the huge demand were common but Tom's tale of almost entering 4 times takes some beating! It sounds like there will be a big Goodgym presence on the startline in May.

Before we set off for the short run to Survivors in Transition (SiT) centre, we welcomed Genni to her first Group Run.

On arrival at the SiT centre we were asked to help give the centre a spring clean. Pretty soon the hum of vacuum cleaners co could be heard all around the building along with elbow grease and the squeaking of windows being polished.

The SiT centre is a large building with numerous rooms but it didn't take long for our gang to work their way through the house.

On the run back to base (we actually ran right past the base and on to complete a large loop) by special request from Irene, we stopped off for some Circuit "Fun" - 2 rounds of planks, squat jumps, star jumps and high knee 1-2-3 interspersed with shuttle runs - everyone agreed it was such fun!

And when we finally returned to base (for the second time) another successful Goodgym night was brought to a close with some stretching.

Great work by everyone again tonight. Next week we'll have a longer run as we head for Castle Hill Community Centre to carry out the task we had to cancel due to last week's adverse weather conditions.
