Wonder Women With Spades

Sheffield Report written by Annie Anthony Mays

5 Women Goodgym runners went in a group run to Lynnwood Gardens. With spades the wonder women digged dashed and cleared soil and debri along the path to make it tidy and safe. John and Liz from Sustrans really appreciated our teamwork. strength and cooperation. Worked really hard in the dark with additional lighting.

Going Roundabout The Houses

Sheffield Report written by James Smith

On this week's GoodGym group run our task was to deliver leaflets for Roundabout, promoting two events they have coming up. One leaflet was advertising the Night Owl event wherein people sleep out at Hillsborough and the other was information about the Night At The Musicals drive in cinema event at Meadowhall. Both are to raise money for and awareness of the Roundabout youth homeless charity. We were met by delightful Denise who distributed bags of both leaflets to us and some proposed route maps. As there were only 3 of us tonight we decided that we would focus on a single route together. We agreed to meet Denise back at the Showroom after distribution to report on how we got on, then set off on our merry way.

The map we chose was Route A (for GoodGym's A team) directly behind the station. We trotted our way through the station and up the Steel Steps of Sheaf Valley Park. On the way up the steps we became curious as to the total number of them, but only started counting from about half way up. We estimated that there are a total of 99, based on the number of steps in each set. If anyone wants to correct us on this, please do! When we reached to top of the amphitheatre we had a brief moment to catch our breath and take in the resplendent view of Sheffield. Taking advantage of this pause we formulated a rough plan of how we were going to divvy up the delivering duties. Two of us would work down one side of a road and one on the other, whichever team reaching the end of the street first doubling back to meet the others.

We discovered a few interesting details during our deliveries tonight... one, the houses on one side of the street have winding long drives leading to huge hidden houses... many of which seem to like also having hidden letterboxes! The second, Taj is a very speedy leafletter. And the third, Annie is not a fan of yappy dogs (but who is?!).

The route we managed to cover for Denise was Norfolk Rd, the top third of Granville Rd, Ingram Rd, Tylney Rd, Seabrook Rd, Stafford Rd, Glencoe Rd and part of the B6071.

After completing our paper route we geared up for some high speed egg and spoon racing. In lieu of delicate eggs we had a couple of satsumas and a hardened lemon. Our race was to take place at the entrance to Norfolk Park. We ran from one side of the entryway to the other, around a bollard and back. It came down to a photo finish, but we were all winners tonight (or just say James won).

Following this excitement we had the come down of the run down. We debriefed Denise back at the Showroom and then blocked the path of many cinema goers whilst stretching indoors.

Painting Whiter shade of Pale.

Sheffield Report written by Annie Anthony Mays

8 Goodgymmers paint the interior of The Regather space upstairs. Fun, laughter and various quotes were shared amongst us all. Lots of high walls were unreachable even with ladders and chairs. I did think of climbing up to paint but too risky. So we have to leave the high unpainted walls for another day to abseil if permitted. Paint looked yellow against the cream walls but when dried it looks white. We were all curious with the various shades of White but we did it successfully. Well done team!

CAN't See The Wood For The Trees

Sheffield Report written by James Smith

Five fitness fanatics frolicked frenetically to meet Karen and her other volunteer at Stanley Field near Neepsend. We were aiding the Pitsmoor Pickers to pluck lots of trash from the wooded embankment down by the side of the road.

On the way to meet Karen we were having a bet about what colour her hair would be on this occasion... nobody guessed red, and that's what it turned out to be! Appropriate for a visit from red thunder.

Karen distributed pickers, hoops and bags and sent everyone on their merry ways.

We worked our way through the dark, dank woods, blitzing the leaf litter of litter!

Some interesting finds of the evening were several large gas canisters (which Karen takes to a specialist recycling company), 75 drinks cans (which are exchanged for money that is used to buy equipment), cannabis growing equipment, a couple of substantial flat-screen televisions, and a shelving unit.

After 45 minutes of plucking we gathered up all of the bags and bigger bits. We left them in a pile by the side of the road where Karen had arranged for them to be picked up by the council. Before we left we took the opportunity to get a group photo of ourselves looking happy with our haul.

When we arrived back at the showroom there was one final special surprise for the volunteers... the 'Sally up' challenge, this time utilizing it for squats. The premise of the challenge is to perform the downward action of the exercise every time the song says 'bring Sally down' and the upward action only when 'bring Sally up' is sang. This results in lots of reps and varying lengths of time holding stress positions. Everyone loves it!

After this we stretched off all the key muscle groups used throughout the evening's exertions and parted ways.
