MARVELOUS MAIREAD, SENSATIONAL STEVE, GORGEOUS GRACE & TRAINER TOM set off from Shaw Lane Sports Center to meet SUBLIME SHARON at tonights task which was taking place at the YMCA Barnsley.
This weeks task involved us cleaning the toys that are used for the children's playgroup, big and small all shapes and sizes. We got straight to it using a combination of spray and wipes and hot soapy water to make the toys sparkle.
We had a welcome surprise when Christie revealed some of the children they had been working with during the day had kindly made us some fresh cookies which we had no option but to try before heading home to Shaw Lane.
Once back at base we headed round the corner for a quick hang tough session, working in pairs to complete three sets of;
- Straight arm hang & Suicides
- Knee ups & Lunges
- Hanging Leg Raises & Tyre Flips
A great effort by all! We were also joined by AMAZING ALICE who came to get her docs checked and scope out the group run for a feature time.
Until next time, happy running!
