**14 FABULOUS @GGSHEFF runners ran 3km to help CADS and the Abbeydale Picture House with the renovations to this Sheffield Icon!
The Showroom Cinema (our new start location) welcomed some stiff legs after the previous days half marathon efforts which was well attended by the @GGSHEFF crew with 5 runners who made it round the course still turning up to the group run the next day and making it through the run, task and fitness session!
WE ARE BACK TO VISIT OUR OLD FRIEND
With still plenty of work to do on this ongoing task the team were welcomed and briefed by SENSATIONAL STEVE and quickly split into team LIFT & SHIFT and team ROCK & ROLL. Many a board was white washed for future art work and many an old part was shifted to make the space a usable one for the future!
Following the task we split into teams of three (TRIPLE TROUBLE Y'ALL) and began a high intensity circuit to the tunes of the Beastie Boy's in the fantastic space that the stars once have, and with our help will perform once more!
After whipping brows we headed into the depths of the basement of the PICTURE HOUSE SOCIAL for some post task refreshments. It was a great turn out for our first social with nearly everyone able to stick around for a couple of drinks, pizza and a chance to get to know each other a little better. Now we are running to and from the Showroom this will hopefully give us more opportunities to grab a drink after the runs!
Next week we are off to REGATHER to make another two beds so.....

Gosh, what a super old building, it's a labyrinth. Thank you all for making me so welcome at GG Sheffield (Kim is the best cheer squad). It wasn't your hot and hilly HM that had me dashing back to Brizzle, it was Tom's fitness session. :-) :-) Hope to see you all again soon.
