Ok I was unsure whether to proceed with this dodgy pun but it perfectly describes how prickled and hayfever riddled I am after tonight's group run!

Another blue sky Monday for another brilliant weeding session at Newcastle Eagles and the three GoodGym disciplines represented with Charlotte cycling, Aimee and me walking and everyone else running.

We were back in our favourite patch battling the (very scratchy!) weeds as we work through a patch at the front of the arena to keep it looking tidy. We got straight into it tonight picking up tools and hacking away at the weeds. Check out how professional Charlotte looked tonight!

Max regaled us with tales of his jobs in a garden centre and in Greggs where they have a bouncer on the door after 10pm. The things you learn at GoodGym! He also filled us in on his least favourite plant which thankfully he was not faced with tonight.

I have to give special kudos to Andy who has attended all of these super squatting weeding sessions so far- that is proper commitment.

Time flew by before it was time to pack away and finish the last job of moving some fencing from the front of the arena. Paul made this look much easier than it was.

Well done everyone! I'm off to take another antihisthamine.
