Feel the Burns Night

7 Goodgymers braved the cold, ran 2k and took on a task for The Friends of Tottenham Green

Big shouts out to, Emma and Anne who got stuck into their first GoodGym session. Give em a cheer folks!

on a promise

Sarah was first up this week and as we chatted we were joined by the rest of the crew and chitter chatter commenced until the clock struck 7pm. We then headed out for our warm up and briefing. As we warmed up I made the guys a Burns Night promise that they would indeed feel the burn during our fitness session. I also mentioned that as the task site was only a few hundred yards away we would be taking the long way round and doing a little run around the block.

Strava Art

En route to the task we decided to do detour and do a loop the loop around Clyde Circus and as we did so some of the lovely Strava art that was done by many a runner over the festive period popped into my head so we gave it a go and tried to map out a wee star. I must just add that Owen Delany managed to create some great art over the festive period.. I wonder if any of the GGH crew saw it too?

The task

The task at hand this week was clearing fallen leaves from the FoTG site.. this included some really delicate removing of leaves from the flowerbeds and separating any rubbish from the leaves before placing them into hessian bags. The team made light work of this and before long we were saying our goodbyes and heading off for our fitness session.

Feeling the burn

The fitness session was all about lactic acid build up and strengthening the legs. A variety of squats and lunges were on the menu and the group seemed to lap them up. That done we headed the short distance back to HQ for a warm down and some stretches.

Oh and props to Catherine and Sarah for the pun ideas 😬
