6 ghoul-gymers, 7 gore-gymers and 1 zombie ventured out on this grave occasion to run like hell around Dam Flask reservoir.

Preparing our runners for Thursday Fright Night Tom-the-Terror-fier prized open the boot of his car, it creaked to reveal tools of torture. He created a gorey goodgym mess.

Before we set off, Apocalyptic Andrew explained the plan of attack for the night, witch involved a 5km loop along the unlit wooded dam path, with dark chilling circuit exorcises at 1km intervals. During these exorcises Andrew plagued us with his bubonic beats.

Where is a zombie when you Need-ham? ... At any moment, we were open to ambush by Sam of the Dead # the fastest zombie in South Yorkshire! It was fight or flight as Sneaky Sam snook suspiciously, surprising a startled Screaming Steve. Courageous Chris could not extinguish Sam's zest for zombification...

One by one we fell by the wayside, and the rest of the run continued in a similar vein. What a spooktacular time, a bloody good run.

Joined by Jackie at the pub, in due corpse, we finished the night with Hari-BOO Scaremix, zombeers and a meal. One GoodGymer had their heart set on a stake! Tip of advice: never accept a sandwich from a taxidermist (sorry to you non psychos out there, this could be a bit cryptic).

We left the pub before the end of the witching hour to rest in peace before being resurrected for Steve's 100th Park Run this weekend at Graves :)
