Wow!

A RECORD of 45 runners rocked up tonight, what a turnout!

We welcomed three new runners this week. Woop, hola and cheers for;

• Adam Perry
• Megan Burton
• Konstantina

Thanks for coming along and hope to see you all on a run again soon!

This week was a brand new task to go and help out The Childrens Hospital Charity where one of our very own GG runners works, big thanks to Rachael for organising the task which this week was helping stuff bags ready for the charities Glow Run - see photos for discount entry code.

It was a very well welcomed indoor task tonight where we stuffed the bags that will be given to the runners of the Glow Run on finishing the race. The team got straight to it got the bags done in quicktime.

Everyone was having great fun filling the fun bags full of fun and the envelope team were really pushing the envelope!

Helen was feeling a bit big headed by the end...

On route back we snuck in some stair sets, partner high knee/wall sits and got back to base for stretching and beers.

Until next week, happy running!

We welcomed a new runner along this week.

Whoop, hola and cheer for

NICK WEBSTER!

We were back off to Heeley People's Park last night to see FANTASTIC FRANK & RADIANT ROB and to continue to help them with the upkeep of the fantastic community owned and run space that benefits all around it as well as visitors and passers through.

Dig me a winner!

For starters we had a crack team of 6 shovelers that got straight to task with ROB digging trenches at the side of the paths to ensure the paths will remain usable and un-damaged once the winter wetness comes down. With nothing but head torches to light the way, it was spadey business...

Mulch a-do about nothing

The rest of the crew got onto the MONSTER MULCH which really was monstrous with a huge pile that needed to be collected into buckets, moved to various areas and then spread. AMAZING ANNIE & SUPER STEVE were on hand to whittle out any inefficiencies and get the chain going as smooth and efficient as poss!

The park was worse than the bite - James Smith

In no time at all, huge progress could be seen in the park.

We downed tools and took advantage of the street lit hill to get some team hill sprints in. In teams of 5 we sprinted up a small will and recovered on the way down, getting a good 5 reps in!

Until next time, happy running :)

It was a special week this week with SUPER SIONED earning her wings, having reached 100 good deeds!

Huge congrats from all!

We headed out along the ongoing refurbished 'Knowledge Gateway' in the direction of Lynwood Gardens to help GORGEOUS GARETH of REGATHER fame with ongoing works that needed completing to keep this gem of community asset in good order.

We quickly split into 3 teams;

1. TEAM RAKE

Did a fantastic job raking up a huge amount of autumn leaves and helping to nurture a very special Himalayan Birch which we learned the bark can be set on fire even when wet! #survivaltips

1. TEAM DREAMWEAVERS

Got straight to taming the wild beast of growth, delicately pruning to bring it back into order. SUPER SIONED was so committed to the task that she angelically rose up onto the shoulder of giants (well Mike) to get to the taller sections of the task.

1. TEAM RIP IT UP, CHIP IT UP

With a 'scorched earth' policy from PAPPA G, the team made quick work of taming the growth that had appeared and engulfed the fence near the entrance to the gardens. Our powerful trio of COURAGEOUS KIM, AMAZING ANDREA & CAPTIVATING CAROLINE made the shovals blur with their power and speed of shifting the chip into wheelbarrows and away to the muddy areas.

A great effort by all! Look forward to next week!

Happy Running!
