Tonight we had a dozen GoodGymers ready to do some goody. It was off to Birmingham Mission for this evening’s task. Balal did the front marking job and John the back.

On arrival we were told that the meals had already been served as they had received a pizza donation, hence this weeks great pun thought up by David! Therefore the job was a bit smaller tonight, just some washing up for the group to do.

Once that was done it was on to the hills! Two sets of four minutes of Kenyan hills, with ninety seconds rest between the sets. That’s continuous hard running, both up and down the hill, certainly not easy! John was flying up them tonight, with Antonio giving everything not far behind. Karin and Laura pushed each on along as usual, as did both Charlotte and Laura! Fiaz pushed hard especially on the steepest part of the hill, Oh and Rob added in his customary sprint finish in the last 20 seconds!

Once done we headed back to 1000 Trades and that was job done.

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
