TONIGHT I TOOK MY DREAM GOODGYM NEWCASTLE GROUP PHOTO
Oh also, we did an amazing group run and a task at Roycroft House for Changing Lives
Yay!
David got in a quick confession that he had chosen the England match last week over his GoodGym group run, quickly redeeming himself by saying he hadn't given into the temptation of a pint on the Quayside on his run up to Hotel Indigo and we said hello to two new runners, a Mother and Daughter duo, Sandra and Lauren. We hope you were made to feel very welcome tonight!
Now everyone knows the mark of a truly good running coach is finding great places to pose for a group photo, and tonight was a corker- a World Cup related stop off to pose by the mighty Shearer statue at St James Park. Kudos to our Sunderland supporter runners who joined in with the famous number 9's pose.
At Roycroft House, a project for vulnerable people in our city, we were split into little teams to complete the tasks of:
- Garden clear and tidy up (it was 24 degrees and everyone wanted to do this one!)
- Bathroom clean
- Kitchen scrub
- Living room make over
- Biscuit eating (this task mainly reserved for Dan
In one of our quickest completions ever, the jobs were done and dusted (literally) in 25 minutes!
Imagine being this awesome!
We went to Summerhill Park for lunges and a squat pulse challenge before a round of our favourite game Dishes and Domes where Rachel won my sweetie prize for comment of the night: "I'm always a dish" and indeed, she is.
Next week is our first task with Smart Works Newcastle followed by our summer social: food and drinks at the Mile Castle. Sign up to run here or just come and meet us afterwards for the festivities!
Happy running, Anji x
