Pearl, Interrupted

11 runners met up on Tuesday night. No newbies but 11 veterans of the Goodgym experience who had no PBs to report this week but were all in awe of Rosemary and Paul who completed the Seven Sisters 10k the previous Saturday in winds that must have almost blown them into the sea.

After our usual warm up we headed off to St. Luke's Church on Old Shoreham Road...about a 2k run....and met Jessie and his gorgeous dog Pearl there. She certainly was Jessie's Girl!

Our task this week was to clear the garden of waste, detritus and discarded bonfire material. Pearl was a lovely distraction but we cleared a lot of space and placed old doors up against the wall. Nobody could say it was like a jungle out there after we had finished with it.

Having completed our work we headed off to New England St. next to Sainsbury's and set about creating a unique 34...the reason being that the 50th Goodgym launches this week and Brighton were number 34. After much deliberation we created a 34 with bodies spread out in a digital fashion as people headed home from work. Hey....not an eyebrow was raised...this is Brighton after all!

We then had a fitness session to complete...everyone partnered up and set about sets of 34 (see what we did there) burpees, press ups and jumping squats divided between the pairs in a set time. Paul and Frances came out victors having completed two sets plus an extra 20 burpees...my legs are still grateful!

We headed back to base camp with a song in our hearts...oh...talking of songs see if you can spot the 80's songs referenced in this report!! Not many but they're there. Until next week.
