GG Sheffield were back at Heeley People’s Park and showed just how much 36 people can achieve in a limited timeframe – we managed to cover the length of a path (twice!) and a rock climbing area with wood chip, with members shovelling wood chip or running with wheelbarrows and buckets – top mulching team!

We were joined by new members Jackie and Sarah – welcome to Good Gym!

And by Adam from H.O.M.E., a newly launched charity whose mission is to get every homeless person in Sheffield a safe place to sleep. You can follow the charity on Twitter: H.O.M.E.

A big shout out to James and Tim who both arrived on time to celebrate their 50th Good Deed – a great contribution to GG Sheffield chaps – and who both looked very chipper (apologies for that terrible pun) in their 50th bow ties.

Having completed our work at the Park, run leader Sam brought us back via the Park Hill amphitheatre where he entertained us (and bemused members of the public sitting there) by having us running and doing press-ups & burpees/ star jumps to the tune of The Police’s Roxanne. In an ideal world he would have had the exhausted group running back to the Showroom to the sound of Every Breath You Take but apparently Health & Safety Regulations prevent us from doing press-ups on the ring-road...

I love to be outside. I'm at my happiest skimming stones on a beach, or running somewhere beautiful.
