Not for the paint hearted

On a dark and increasingly colder Sheffield night the @GGSHF crew were out in force tonight for another run out to the Abbeydale Picture House to continue with the work at this fantastic building!
Special mention to MAGIC MIKE JONES & HEROIC HANNAH MCCORMACK who were both on their 50th GG run last night. As has become customary they stylishly donned the bowties for the evening to note their fantastic achievement and commitment to @GGSHF.
WELL DONE BOTH!
We also welcomed a raft of new lovely people to @GGSHF last night, a big round of applause, woop, hola and cheers for;

On arrival at the Abbeydale Picture House it became evident that due to some last min vol illness we would be slightly down on the tools available for the task, never mind, after a brief chat with SUPER SARAVERIO we hatched a plan and split the group with some staying at the venue to weed some of the raised beds and car park area, some scraping, brushing and then painting exterior walls.
Keep rollin, rollin, rollin, rollin!
The rest of us headed round the corner for some FARTLEK TRAINING in the form of SUICIDE SPRINTS using the local line of trees to help us.
We sprinted out on the way out to the first tree, then recovered on the way back to the start lampost, then went full gas again to the next tree and so on until we were all done! On return we switched places so everyone had a chance to do the task and the fitness session!
This weeks run was tagged as part of the ##RunAndTalk campaign to support World Mental Health day on Wednesday 10th October.
