Cancelled task = extra fitness fun

A late cancellation of the booked task meant a quick re-think of what to do on the group run, so a litter pick it was!

This means we could do a longer fitness session!

We welcomed Tim to his first group run and hope that he enjoyed it, even the pyramids I hope!

Birthday wishes were given to Laurie for her recent birthday. I mentioned our recent local race Baddow 10 and announced our next local race will be the Chelmsford 10k in November, on-line booking should be available soon.

Well done to Rich for his 100 mile bike ride at the weekend.

I spoke about the changes to the Goodgym Missions and the process going forward to do these.

Time to head off to the park with a warm up session along the pedestrian zone from the Uni and a jog to the dreaded traffic lights by the Police Station, the advance runners got across straight away but the rest of us had to wait the three changes of lights. Into the park to collect the litter picking equipment which was shared out. We tackled the childrens playground with Julie managing to find a trampoline to bounce on! Then we covered the main pedestrian path to the station and picked up quite a bit of litter there, this is an area we cleared about a month ago.

The fitness session beckoned in the park and an offer of two were voted on, Pyramids or a 2km handicap and the Pyramid got voted in!

Everyone did extremely well on the 1-2-3-4-3-2-1 minutes with a minute break in-between, great effort all around.

After a recovewrey rest we then headed back to the Uni dropping off runners along the way to their various homes.
