15 superstar Goodgymers gathered at a busy University of Suffolk tonight where an Open Day was in full swing.

A big welcome to Martin on his first group run.

Tonight's task was to deliver leaflets on behalf of Ipswich Borough Council promoting a "Give & Take" event to reuse/recycle unwanted items.

A steady paced run along the Waterfront and across town took us to the starting point, where we split into 5 teams, each taking a designated area to deliver around 100 leaflets per team.

This was completed in an amazingly quick time with all teams returning to the meeting point in under 20 minutes.

With some leaflets left over we took in several additional roads on part of the return run, before pausing for 10 minutes worth of interval relays in a handily placed floodlit car park opposite Ipswich Town's Portman Road Ground. There was some magnificent sprinting in the under the watchful eyes of Sir Bobby Robson - so fast in fact , most of the photo's are just a blur!!

The run "home" was completed with a wall sit challenge around the ? which saw Jason, Lesley, Libby and Lindsey the last Wo(men) standing at 4 minutes

Nex t week is the last Group Run before Christmas and we'll be heading back to Brickmakers Wood - see link for more info and to sign up.
