21 TREMENDOUS runners ran 4km to Highfield Adventure Playground to help Sharrow Community Forum clean up the playground for the local kidlings to play!

If it's raining, we're training!

Braving the Sheffield rain we had a fantastic turnout of brave runners meet us at the Showroom and welcomed new runners to the group:

*James Smith

* Bee Gan

*Tam Yeh

*Catriona Stephenson

*Bertha Rohenkohl

*Wendy Robson

Give em a Cheer!

After the compulsory brief, welcome to new runners, back marker identification and headcount we had a quick group photo and headed off into the drizzle.

We met MAGNIFICANT MAZ at the playground who promtly handed us gloves and tools to start weeding the overgrown playground. Buckets were found and weeds were pulled for a solid 45mins making a huge dent into the much needed work there.

Fitness time!

Thanks to the rain the nextdoor courts were all ours so we made the most of it doing a number of technique based exercises, followed by some fitness focused exercises and some running drills and games for good measure which included.

  • Lunges

  • High knees

  • Skips

  • Suicides

  • Dishes & Domes

  • High Knees

  • Box Jumps

  • Tri Dips

  • Stair Sprints

We headed back to base for stretches and talk of this weekends up coming small park, BIG RUN which it would be great to have a few more runners along to. It's a great cause and a beautiful park with a great view of Sheffield! Let me know if you are going and we can sort a time to run together.

Farewell Hattie!

Unfortunately tonight was Hattie's last run with @GGSHF as she moves down to Bristol to become a Dr and to join our Bristol Good Gym cousins. They will be lucky to have her! Hattie has been coming to @GGSHF since day one and has always been great company and a real hard worker on the tasks! You will be sorely missed Hattie and we wish you all the best in Bristol!

Next week

Next week we are off to Abbeydale Picture House for a special Cinema 2 Cinema - A Doc/Fest Special so hopefully we will have some cinema goers coming along to help make an old cinema flourish once more.

Don't forget to sign up and see you there!

Happy Running!

Tom :)
