One Law for Jonny another for the rest!

12 people ran 10k to Birmingham Mission

Tonight it was great to welcome Hannah and Aurelija to the group. It is fantastic to have you with us. Tonight’s pun is brought to you by Garry, more on that later!

Uh oh!

We set on our way to Birmingham Mission, Aaron led the way with Rob and Liam not far behind. On arrival we were greeted by John as usual, but unfortunately this time it was bad news. There had been a little incident outside the centre and therefore we were advised not to come in. The couple of local constabulary present, sort of gave it away. Oh well that’s only the second task cancelled in sixteen months of GG Brum so we aren’t doing to bad. On the positive side we could now do a slightly longer run then originally planned.

The group set off down the canals all the way to Aston Lock before leaving the canal to run through Aston Uni campus and then arrive at a brand new ‘hill venue.’

Loooooong hills

Now tonight’s hill was a virtually un-used road that ended outside the law courts. It seems the law in some form or another was following us around tonight! The hill wasn’t particularly steep but it was quite a long one! I set the group eight minutes of continuous sprints up the hill with a jog back down recovery.

What a great effort by the group. Aaron led the way, before Hasnain took up ‘the running’. Hannah put in a sterling performance showing a fantastic technique with an arm action virtually Mo Farah esk! Liam put in some top work. Garry was sprinting hard all the way and Aurelija put in some excellent work on her first GG outing. As ever the whole group pulled each other along, it was fantastic to see!

Once done the group found the steps outside the law court very welcoming, so that was this weeks group pic! That was when Garry came up with the pun….maybe something to do with the fact I didn’t run the hills, though my excuse is that I have the very important job of run photographer 😉

After the group had got their collective breaths back somewhat, We had a steady run 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.
