Remember remember the 5th of November with gunpowder, treason and PLOG...

The 'Guys' were on fire last night and couldn't wait to make the Steel City clean after Halloween! They were in it to bin it and all fired up to make a big bang on the streets and drop a clean bomb on Duke St & City road.

We had a gentle jog to the bottom of Duke St which is where we would commence our PLOG with the end destination being the Manor Park bonfire at the top of the road. It was 'on your sparks, get ready, GO as we split into two teams, one on either side of the road and commenced the clean!

The gang ran off with a bang, Suze was milking it a bit and Katherine wheeled her way up City road with her awesome litter picker pro in hand, it were a bin bin situation!

On the way up we had fireworks going off all over, creating a great backdrop to the run!

Once we got to the end we followed the masses out from the show and then took a left to avoid the crowds and get some fitness in...

We stopped at the amazing Cholera Monument for an arty farty group photo and chose this as our place for a quick bit of fitness that this week included a quick circuit consisting of;

  • Sprints
  • Fireworks
  • Split lunges
  • Sumo squats
  • Squat jumps

On route back we headed over the graffiti bridge and back to base for a quick stretch and headed in to talk about our fave rubbish movies inc litter, litter bang bang!

Thanks to everyone for being such an en-fused group for tonights task, really appreciated!

VEGAS BABY! Stevie G...
