Chasing Pavements

Our last group run in the dark for a not so HATEFUL EIGHT in Bath tonight and a chance to burn off some calories before the group start tucking into those Easter Eggs at the weekend. The task tonight was a HEARTY one covering a distance of 7k in total for The British Heart foundation delivering charity collection bags.

A very warm welcome tonight to Louise and Soinda joining us for their first Goodgym run. After a debrief on Goodgym and tonight's task the group headed outside for a swift warm up and intro to the group before CHASING THE PAVEMENTS ( thank you Joseph for tonight's pun). Rosie very kindly volunteering to be backmarker tonight.

We took the river route out towards Widcombe for the start of our run with a chance for Squats after our first street sweep working like an AEROBATIC DISPLAY TEAM maybe not quiet THE RED ARROWS but pretty close and they only got better. Re grouping at Horseshoe walk after Team Rosie Got carried away and for a split second we thought they had gone up to SHAM CASTLE( built in 1762 by Richard James master mason for Ralph Allen) for a quick selfie, I have promised to do some historical feature every week so this one will feature very soon on our routes.

The Horseshoe was completed in record time before the group tackled Bathwick Hill, known for it`s Historic houses that line the streets leading up to the university but thankfully we took a left hand turn and a chance to practise our walking lunges before a change in direction and some press ups at Sydney gardens and a group photo outside The Holbourn museum. We made a final sweep along the Paragon posting the last of our bags before heading down through Milsom street towards Bath Abbey taking in the beautiful architecture of Angels climbing ladders and a promise to climb the bell tower in the near future.

Task done with 10 minutes to spare for a cool down and well deserved stretch out back at the leisure centre. A reminder that everyone can get more involved in our Goodgym community or paired up with your very own coach for your runs.

Sam is looking for guinea pigs for his massage course so if you'd like a free massage then Sam is your man, just drop me an email and I will put you in touch. We also plan to have a post run drinks for those who would like now the lighter nights are upon us giving us a chance to socialise.

Great job done tonight with an average of £10 per bag if filled for the British heart foundation.
