At the Barnsley Bushtucker trails there was lots of bushing and shrubbing!

Tonight at GoodGym Barnsley a tribe of seven runners ran 3km to Locke Park to help the volunteers tackle their flowerbeds and bushes!

We welcomed a new member tonight Anna show her a warm GoodGym welcome and support here Welcome Anna!!

Also tonight, GoodGym Barnsley veteran and trainer Grace celebrated her 50th good deed! Following on from GoodGym Sheffield traditions, Steve presented a 50 deed bow tie, which was worn with pride all night long!

Tonight we headed off up hill to Barnsley with all runners except James in tow. Steve led the group at a lovely chatty pace all the way to the park gates. Debbie was armed (with tools) and ready to get started, so we headed to the area in question and got to work! There was lots of bush trimming to be done, so Steve, Rachel, Mairead and James got to work giving them all a nice haircut. Meanwhile Sharon and Anna delved straight in to pruning and cutting back the wild flowers and plants. The group enjoyed passing around innuendos, copying Steve's accent and wiggling for the odd Instagram boomerang - what a perfect evening!

The group were in for a treat with the fitness session Grace had planned tonight, and all skipped along merrily to the start. Once paired up, the team picked a 'dog/rock' and a 'jump/crawler'.
As fast as they could, the pairs had to complete 10 sets of downward dog crawls and rock jumps and run 100m to the tree and back. The dog/rocks had to move in and out of downward dog to rock position whilst their partner crawled under and jumped over them, finishing off with a sprint, whilst the partner held a plank. Then they swapped over. Everyone was very much out of puff at the end, fulfilling the aim of the session and having lots of fun in the process!

We headed back down the hill to Shaw Lane, had a quick stretch and said our goodbyes. Another fab night at GoodGym Barnsley, good work team!
