Litter Go - Yes we were Frozen!

Hats and gloves were very much in evidence tonight - our first really cold Goodgym night of the winter - but the low temperature didn't deter this hardy group.

Welcome back to Ipswich Belinda - a Goodgym Worthing regular, who had visited us previously and joined us again tonight.

We needed something to warm up prior to getting stuck into the task so we set off for a run that would bring us back to pick up the litter pick kit. It was a gentle start before arriving at the bottom of Devonshire Road - possibly the steepest hill in Ipswich. There was a choice of 1 or 2 ascents focussing on good arm drive technique before moving on and luckily finding a down hill towards the college!

We then had 40-50m section picking up speed all the way through. Unfortunately we picked up a casualty when Nick was shot in the hamstring by sniper - leading to an ice pack and an early end to the session for him - hope you're feeling better when you read this Nick.

Returning to our starting point, litter pick and bags were issued and we scoured a mainly floodlit section of the Waterfront along river on behalf of Rivercare. This is a task we do intermittently covering a large area aiming to prevent rubbish and particularly plastic finding it's way into the river.

With the task done it was time for a "fun" circuit session with two groups working in tandem - 1 group running varying intervals around a short course, while the other endured some core strength and balance circuits - keeping everyone moving to avoid getting cold.

Super work from everyone on a non-stop super circuit!
