Report written by Tom Mutton
Seventeen sensational @GGSHEFF runners ran 7km to help spread woodchip for Heeley City Farm.
We welcomed new runner Rachel Ripley to the GG family tonight, welcome to the team Rachel - Give her a cheer!
After a quick brief and headcount and with Sam as our trusty back marker we headed off to Heeley City Farm for the nights task.
This weeks task involved a hide and seek style start with tools and a treasure map of the task hidden away in a horsebox. We quickly deciphered the map and got to work, splitting into 2 teams to move woodchip to areas of the farm that were in need of a new layer!
Using wheelbarrows, wheelie bins and brut force we quickly covered the areas in need and even had time to fill some bags up for moving in the future.
After downing tools and accidentally disturbing the local scrumpers we headed into the fitness element of the evening which took advantage of the local topography....
This week we:
Duck Walked
Lunged
Box jumped
Downhill backward walked!
Hill sprinted
After all this in the heat it was time to head back and finish with a fast becoming customary mini hill sprint at the end before stretching and spreading the word of the latest news including:
GG Barnsley launch
Chosen Park Run for this Sat
Wednesday Runch
#stickemup - see photos for Sam's excellent demo!
Next week we are off to Reagther so make sure you've signed up.
Happy Running,
Tom
