T'was the night before Halloween on a cold and clear night in witchy Worthing

I was so pleased to welcome our newbies and regulars to our first 'dark' task since the clocks changed.

Welcome Hayley, Roxy and Katie. We hope that you felt the warmth of GoodGym Worthing on your first ( but hopefully not your last! ) task.

Also a special mention to Paula and Tamsin on week 2 of their GG experience.

I cant continue without a mention to my amazing regulars the 2 B's ( Beth and Belinda) Gill , Michelle, Anne and Nick.

Torch n' go - Another amazing challenge

After a relaxed warm up we arrived at our second visit to Worthing Churches Homeless project in Byron Road where we were warmly welcomed by Katie and Luke.

Maybe I say this every week but we just seem to get better and better at our tasks. This week was like another ground force makeover.

The team excelled themselves with Paul chief sweeper with the large broom. Gill took control of the secateurs ( naturally !) for her usual fine pruning and Nick got down and dirty under the trees with some grim reaping! Katie, Beth, Belinda, Anne, Roxy, Hayley and Tamsin were certainly ' weeding up appearances' on their hands and knees in the beds.

Many hands make lights work

After a swift and effective 30 minutes , a quick photo shoot together with some basking in reflected glory the team set off west towards the seafront where we stopped for a fitness session jointly hosted by Beth and Belinda.

Though this be madness, yet there is method in sprints

With Julia's relay sprints combined with strength and cardio exercises followed by the number game with Beth there were certainly some raised pulses and glowing faces!

The group were then given the option of a steady or tempo run back to base.

No ! The dog ate my fitbit

This was my favourite quote of the night when I asked Paul if he had measured the distance.

We counted every one back in and had a chuckle about Beth being number 12 :):):)

Great vibes and banter this evening with our biggest group to date.

Thanks everyone

Lots of GG love

Julia :)
