Play Ball

13 GoodGymers ran 5.5k to St Andrews Youth Club to have a bit of fun playing a few games with the youth Clubs summer scholars.

A muggy Wednesday greeted us at the New Balance store where we welcomed 4 new faces to GoodGym fold Natalie and our American friends Juliette, Eric and Adamon last day of the UK visit!

Wanting to give a little running tour we took in an extended 3k notching up a couple of Royal Parks and zipping past Buckingham Palace on our way to St Andrews.

After all our hard work over the first half of the year Adrian wanted to reward us with an activity session to show us what our hard work helps to create!

So we split up into groups and had a go at Table Tennis, cake decorating and Kin Ball.

Kin Ball kind of took over the evening it was a cross between Basketball, Volleyball and Football and it got loud, hot and intense competition.

We struggled early to get to grips with the passion and numbers of the St Andrews team not to mention falling very short compared to their dancing skills! But we gradually brought in the rest of our squad once the cake decorating and table tennis was complete. Once we were at full strength we got really stuck in and a titanic battle ensued!! The points ebbed and flowed we even mixed up the teams for a bit before returning to GG vs St Andrews for the final 10 minutes of all out effort!

No idea who won but I do know everyone in that hall had a great time!! Great to see young people having such a great time and being able express themselves.

Already looking forward to our Christmas time rematch!!

After a crazy workout with so much jumping, running throwing we took the direct route back to base with a smile on everyone's face!

All stretched out and ready to roll by 8 on the dot, hope to see you all again next week!

Have a great week

Smooth Running
