Live from Gorse Hill Studios...

GoodGym: The RETURN

A whopping well done to our fab team of Trafford GoodGym-ers who returned to Gorse Hill Studios to finish off the clearance of their front garden last night ahead of them repurposing it for growing produce to be cooked in the their new kitchen.

As usual we met at our base location of St Matthew's Community Hall in Stretford at 6.30pm where we had a chat about the task, warmed up and set our Stravas to stun before heading off up Chester Road (with a lot of footie fans) to GSH.

We were introduced to the task and the studios by Liv who gave us an ace tour and really brought the benefit of the facilities to life for us all...

Above, drama is life for Jon

Once we had got into the CUPBOARD OF DREAMS (aka tool shed) we set about trimming, clearing and scraping the the heck out of the patio...

We whacked some feel good tunes on and really transformed the space ready for it's revamp...

188920 After we had congratulated ourselves on another job really well done we tidied away and made our way back to base in two teams, with different lengths of run route home.

All re-assembled, we stretched off and chatted about our group run/ task for next week, wished Isaac luck for his upcoming fitness assessment and also races for Martin and John. Good luck all!

Big shout to Fiona who is making massive strides on her running - keep up the good work! Special mention also to Isaac and Vicky who have been on every single GoodGym Trafford Group run which now makes six on the bounce! And big thanks to Jo who backmarked us admirably.

See you all next time!
