Mountain or Molehill??

19 awesome Goodgym runners ran 1.5km which was a small distance but we had a mamouth task!

It was lovely to see some of the same faces from the launch last week and lovely to meet a few new faces too.

After lying (unintenially!!) to the group on 2 fronts, I had said the task was a small pile of twigs(!!!!) and that we would do some speed interval trainging to make up for it. we set off a steady pace with David as our back marker to meet the lovely Pam Robinson at St Matthews church in Edegely. Pam provided us with bags, gloves, garden equiptment and lots of positive enthusiam, and later on tea and biscuits.

This is where the confusion started, I had spotted a small pile of twigs that would take 10 minutes to clear by the team, but once the gate was open I realised there was a whole other pile of twigs that was HUGE......Whoops.

As well as the mountain of twigs we got stuck in to a few other tasks as the cleaner has broken his shoulder, so we hoovered, cleaned windows, wiped, sorted, cleaned rails, mowed the lawn, and then moved more twigs!

As the end seemed close a few of us had a cup of tea and a biscuit and then got stuck back into the pile ahead.

All of a sudden time seemed short and we were desperate to clear the twigs so we got the speed and determination up, and it was happily decided that the interval training was to be saved for another session.

After reaching concrete on the floor and seeing the huge difference we had made to the space we downed tools and started to run back to Lifeleisure. Once back we ended with a small stretch and a laugh at the size of the " small pile of twigs" i had told the group about.

It was another wonderful task, well done guys you were fantastic,

See you soon team,
