It took THE DIRTY DOZEN to TACKLE tonight's challenge at GG Bath with a meaty 8.5k run out and back to Twerton and some Flyer dropping for Age uk to help promote Walking Football which is being held at Twerton park every Wednesday 2.45-3.30pm.

A very warm welcome to Ben tonight as part of our BRING A FRIEND thing coming along with Suzy to get a taste of the great things we do at Goodgym. Emily kindly back marking tonight.

No time to waste tonight as the group head out to Twerton to get those Flyers IN THE BACK OF THE LETTERBOX I must say with all those flyers in my backpack tonight I was feeling a tad weighted down but Sam and Suzy came to my rescue and we took it in turns to share the load on our outward journey.

We had a quick race of Jumping Frogs (squat jumps) in kingsmead square with Alexandra winning, a promise of something nice at Easter. A chance to re group around the corner with some BINGO WING avoiding in the form of Tricep Dips with a bit of PR on the busy streets of Bath.

A good run out and re group on arrival to split into two teams of 6 with HALF TACKLING the right and the other HALF TACKLING the left and Charles defecting to the LEFT without permission from our team captain. Off Side I believe.

Moving swiftly through the high street taking advantage of local businesses and Pubs on route with a re group at the church. It was vey busy on the streets tonight and became apparent that Bath City had a match, if only we could have run onto the pitch for some functional fitness exercises, could have been fun.

The next HALF was TACKLING THE OTHER HALF of the street and the dentist surgery being open was an added bonus. FULL TIME called with the group making it`s way back to the leisure centre saying goodbye to Alexandra,Hermione and Lydia on route.

We arrived back at the leisure centre in the nick of time for a well earned stretch out and a debate about tonight's puns, with Joseph taking THE PENALTY and the pun from Alexandra's WERE ON THE BALL.

Feeling very proud of my group tonight, without you it couldn`t happen.
