I LOVE Wednesday's!!

Since GoodGym Crewe launched at the beginning of October, Wednesday's have fast become my favourite day of the week! I love spending the evening with lovely like minded people, doing good in the community, exercising and having fun and laughs! In just 3 weeks, I think it's fair to say that we've already created our GoodGym 'Tribe', something I'm truly proud to be a part of.

Bravo!

Well done to Rachel who ran the Manchester Half last weekend. An amazing achievement Rachel. Well done you! Hope the legs are back to normal soon :-)

Pickers at the Ready!

Our night (weather kind to us for the 3rd week in a row!) started with our Fartlek warm-up (no rude comments please! ;-)) Varying our pace to help increase speed and endurance. We also focused on our posture, imagining that we had a helium balloon tied to the top of our head to straighten our back and shoulders. Off we set to the 'Rocky' steps where we did several reps up the steps and back down the ramp (all we were missing was Eye of the Tiger playing in the background). If we weren't warmed up before, we certainly were now! We ran to the Sherborne Estate where we collected litter pickers and bin bags. We made a great impact in a short amount of time - clearing lots of litter from around the local houses, the play park and surrounding area. It was nice to see some of the local residents coming out to see what we were up to - hopefully they'll remember our red T-Shirts!! Our run back was a slightly shorter route but still far enough to get the heart rate up. We finished the evening with our stretches and I think it's fair to say that we won't forget John's favourite stretch in a hurry!

Thanks

Thank you to Rachel for being back marker this evening and to Amanda and Rachel for the pun. Genius of me to get you guys to come up with them! Lol!

Oops

Can't believe I forgot the most important thing of all - tonight's fact of the week..... The King of Hearts is the only king in a deck of cards without a moustache! I'm sure you'll sleep better tonight for knowing that! ;-)

Next Week's Task

As you know, details of next week's task are still to be finalized, so watch out on social media for what we'll be getting up to.

Thanks everyone for another fab night. I really do enjoy being with you all! Have a great week and hope to see you all again next week.

Take care Love & Hugs Nicola XX
