#GG10 - We're so Quick to Take a-Fence

On the week that GoodGym is celebrating a decade of doing good 13 GG Ipswich runners came out to play and party!

A looping run of just under a mile took us to one of our regular task sites at Brickmakers Wood where Rob was waiting for us, eager to get going before the light faded too much.

Our task was to remove several sections of large fencing - by sawing through the plastic clips holding them in place and then carrying them down the narrow steep path way to the warehouse. This would help clear a pathway that will be created for wheelchair users visiting the wood.

Armed with gloves and saws the team set to work - the sawing was vigorous and energetic and a lot harder than it looked initially. Once the fence panels were released groups of 3 carried them down along the path - again a lot more physically challenging than it looked!

With lots of elbow grease and lifting and carrying teamwork we managed to complete the whole section just before darkness set in. Once again what looked like a big task that might not be possible was achieved. Rob estimated the job would have taken him at least a day to complete without Goodgym!

We then completed a pairs shuttle run/circuit session under the college floodlights incorporating a final set of wall sits holding the #GG10 flag, before heading to the pub to celebrate 10 years of GG.

Good luck to everyone running the Great East Run this weekend - look out for Hayley supporting out on the course with our giant Goodgym flag!
