Liam was flagging on his birthday!

Tonight was the 10th anniversary celebrations for GoodGym, so with the flag ready we headed to Stanhope for the last time this summer.

On arrival we got Liam to help hold up the flag, with it being his birthday as well! He is slightly older then 10 of course! That is obviously the reason behind this weeks pun, thought up by John. Once inside (well outside of course!) we did plenty of weeding as the sun was going down. After that was done and we headed off from Stanhope for the last time until next spring, the group were ready for some interval training, in the last of the light.

Pyramids were the order of the day. A mix of 30, 45 second and 1 minute efforts. Everyone worked well, John and David pushing from the front. Naomi worked hard on each effort, showing great form. Mariam pushed hard in preparation for her run at the Midland Road Relays on Saturday representing Bourneville Harriers. Laura and Morwenna pulled each other a long with Charlotte and Jane doing likewise. As ever it was a great sight to see the group charging a long the wide open road, giving it everything, top stuff!

Once done there’s always the tough run back and of course it’s always up hill! However as the temperatures dropped and the light started to go (yep sadly winter is on its way) a hilly run kept the chill away as we headed back to 1000 Trades.

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
