'Twas a dark autumnal night for this weeks group run and with Halloween behind us and bonfire night just ahead there was an eerie feeling in the air, but fear not for our trusty 9 runners there was a job to finish at Manvers Baptist church with a 3k run to eat up first.

A vey warm welcome tonight to Hannah Joining us for her first Goodgym experience and with plenty of old hands to explain the different ways to be involved and make her feel welcome it was sure to be a night to remember.

Time to get moving after our warm up and headcount and catch up on any news, congratulations to our newly qualified level 3 personal trainer Joe, I'm sure he can put his skills to the test going forward on the group runs.

We made our way weaving around the city streets with some hill sprints from Jon and Joe on route before arriving at our destination.

Pete our host as ever was ready and waiting armed with brushes and green paint to finish glossing the Widcombe room.

Emily and Ed tackled the picture rail, some might say a couple of drips but the less said about that the better. The two Johns on the green doors whilst the rest worked their magic on the skirting, windowsill and that iconic radiator, 40 minutes in total and after a bit of tuition and white spirit magic from Pete on the floor.

THE ROOM WAS FINISHED

just a small joke about having to re-emulsion the walls... Ha!!

They say time flies when your having fun and that was certainly the case this evening, just time to get that all important group photo before heading back to the leisure centre for a stretch out.

A reminder to bring your ID along to the next group run if you wish to be paired up with your very own isolated older person or want to take part in missions. Emily will be happy to go through this with you.

Thank you Pascale for back marking tonight and for tonight's pun. Shakin Stevens inspired for those of you who are too young.

Look forward to seeing you all at next weeks run for The British Heart foundation https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/getting-to-the-heart-of-the-task
