Joined at the Skip

20 TERRIFIC @GGSHEFF runners ran 5km to help Sharrow Community Forum lift, shift, weed and sweep an area that was overgrown and overcrowded so it can be used for the benefit of the community in the future!

Welcome to the Team

We welcomed 4 new runners to our @GGSHEFF squad this week:

• Charlotte Hutton

• Adam Wiles

• Michelle

• Kathryn Close

Give em a cheer!

TheTask:

This weeks task was to clear debris and plant growth from the area behind the annexe at the Old Junior School (OJS) in to a skip, so that it is spick and span ready for visitors and new planters.

All items and plants were cleared, except those marked with red and white tape.

The skip was positioned a bit of a walk away from the annexe, by the OJS main door, as it couldn't be placed elsewhere, so items needed to be wheeled or carried.

I love a good tool. Kim Longbon, @GGSHEFF runner

Our tools for the job included a wheel barrow, trolley, gloves, brooms.

The @GGSHEFF team made quick work of the area clearing it in record time!

STOP, fitness time....

After dumping tools we had a quick round of SUICIDES to get our blood pumping before heading round to a nearby park for the following exercises:

• Press up High Fives

• Paired squat get ups

• Indian file running drill

• Squat Jumps

• Box Jumps

• Pistol Squats

It was a challenging fitness session this week with some new exercises to master and work on and some team work based skills to develop and practice. More of this in the future.

Next week we are off to Regather so don't delay, sign up today!
