Tonight was all about the amazing exploits of all our runners at the Yorkshire Marathon and 10 Miler on Sunday. Well done to everyone who took part either by running or supporting at the water station. An extra shout out to Carys, Sanjay and Lucy who had all run the 10 miler and made it along to tonight's session, and very special mention for Michael and David who had both completed the marathon and still felt like they couldn't possibly miss an epic GG session!
We were back off to Heworth Holme, a site of an awful lot of previous GoodGym group runs, however tonight was nothing to do with laying the path through the middle and instead was all about raking up an awful lot of cuttings from a grassy area. We met Maria from St Nicks at the task who gave a brief overview to the team who soon got to work. There was a mix of rakers, pirchforkers and draggers as the GG crew got stuck in and shifted an awful lot of the grass cuttings in no time at all and with remarkably few complaints from those who may have been carrying tired legs from the weekend!
After a good 45mins of some serious raking we stopped for a team photo around our marathon heroes before a quick fitness session which put them in the middle of our group and relied on them to guess who was leading the choreographing of the exercises. David picked out Paul Kelly in absolutely no time at all, whereas Michael probably could still be guessing now and would have no idea that Nikki was in charge of the exercises when he was in the middle! To be fair Michael took his punishment of a single star jump remarkably well.
It was then back to base with Ed leading the run and Neil backmarking, and with the slightly longer distance than usual we were very grateful for some of Jenna's delicious apple and cinnamon cake when we returned!

Igglepiggle and his friends live in an enchanted forest that is rife with colourful and bright flowers.
The beautiful and bright flowers have gone to sleep for the winter, and Igglepiggle needed to clear the hay from them to help them grow extra colourful next year, so he invited his lovely bright red friends from GoodGym over for some night gardening.
Igglepiggle had arranged some big tarps in bright colours to gather up the grass. Tombliboo Unn, Eee and Ooo raked the grass onto the tarps super fast because they're very strong! Upsy Daisy nearly poked Makka Pakka in the face with her giant rake! Silly Upsy Daisy!
Soon the happy team had a big comfy mound of grass, and after a little sit (it's not bedtime yet!) they dragged it all over to the enchanted forest to spread amongst the trees. This will help them to grow big and tall and beautiful!
Everyone had a lovely time gardening in the dark, and now it's time for Igglepiggle's GoodGym friends to go home to bed. Night night everyone!
