We had the Prime of Our Lives

Tonight we welcomed back Rachael & Louise for there first Goodgyms since completing their marathons so we were able to congratulate them in person for their fantastic achievements. It was also great to welcome Rikash for his second Goodgym run but first with us in Brighton. And it turns out he had recently met Amro so I sense a firm friendship forming there! We also congratulated Roy on his new parkrun PB!

Way back last summer I first met with the good people at One Church to discuss how we could help them with their rusty railings. “Should take about 3 visits,” I said “1 to prep, 1 to prime and 1 to top coat.” Well I’ve just checked through our run reports and I can confirm that this was our 5th visit!!!

But all the hard prep is done and tonight it was prime time! We were met by Andrew who filled us in on some of the great and diverse things that happen at One Church including pole dancing classes and The Real Junk Food Project! With a big group of 15 painters but only 8 brushes we split the group in two with half painting and half taking on tonight’s fitness session in the car park behind the church. We did 4 rounds of 45 seconds of sprints, plank & a squat with a side leg raise using a mini band before swapping over with the painters. Thanks to Helena for supervising the painting whilst I cracked the whip on the fitness sessions!

We nearly got the priming done but alas not quite so about another 3 visits I reckon!! This is the task that just keeps on giving!!

We headed off as a group to the Level for a quick fitness game, a bit like stuck in the mud but with a cone collecting competition thrown in. Lots of fun!

Next week we’ll be going to one of our favourite tasks…The Bevy. See you then!
