There once was a group of good runners,

Who knew they could achieve wonders,

They would set off at speed

To do a fine deed,

And get fit and do good with some others.

                           ...

With Wandsworth as their destination,

They were filled with athletic elation,

To the BAC they were bound,

Many red tshirts was found,

Plus a bar for post-run hydration.

                   ...

First was hello to our lovely new faces,

We cheered those who had taken on races,

Welcome to Kylie and Jim,

Jack’s tri was run, bike and swim,

While Matthew got a PB through good pacing.

                      ...

Now tonight’s task could not be much better,

We just needed a decent pace setter,

Down Battersea Park Road,

We ran, jogged and strode,

And found Paul’s cancer support centre.

                               ...

It was hard work for the next half an hour,

There were rooms to scrub and to scour,

But with usual good cheer,

Some blood, sweat and tears,

It was no match for GoodGym’s vast power.

                              ....

But this was no time for sporting regression,

We set off for our tough fitness session,

Sprinting through dark,

We reached Battersea Park,

In pursuit of athletic perfection.

                            ...

Tonight’s challenge was a round of hard circuits,

But Wandsworth sure knows how to work it,

There were lunges and hops,

Jumping Jordans and squats,

Proving GoodGymmers are all super fit.

                   ...

Before the evening could be called complete,

There lay before us two difficult feats,

A hill sprint must be done,

Then the weekly CoRUNdrum,

And we all know that runners don’t cheat.

                     ...

GGers know that the key to sweet booty,

Is to run up that hill oh-so-smoothly,

We tackled it like pros,

With high knees and light toes,

And the winner of the CoRUNdrum was Lucy!

                              ...

Amazing work as always Team GG. Sign up for next week’s run here! https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/down-to-devas-to-shift-some-furniture

A poem! And I needed the swim for the rhyme. It's poetic licence!
