This evening’s task was a nice #runlove one! We were supporting our local Council with a leaflet drop for their Active Slough team, highlighting all the great sporting activities on offer in Slough. With over 100 sessions a week, there has to be a perfect match for everyone in there somewhere. From running, pilates, yoga to boxercise, futsal, Zumba and many many more….Check out their website to find which one could be just your type http://www.slough.gov.uk/leisure-parks-and-events/active-slough.aspx
As a double whammy we were also supporting a local running group and their Beat the Boat 10k Race in June with a leaflet drop. A few of our regular runners will be doing this race so would be great to have more Goodgymers on board… https://www.runface.co.uk/beattheboat
Life is Short But Running Makes it Seem Longer
Our target area this evening was in the heart of Langley…so that meant a nice 4km run out from our base at Salt Hill Activity Centre. With a heart-warming brief given with all the love and care possible, we warmed up our souls (and toes with toe tagging fun) and headed out with Darren back marking.
You’re a Bit Fit
With it being the week of romance there is no better way to get your groove on than by activating those romantic endorphins with some exercising. So we turned on our running watches and started to run…In no time at all we had reached Langley and were ready to do the deed …. (of leaflet dropping)
Is That an Energy Bar in Your Pocket….Or!!!
No…they are just leaflets!
We divided into small teams of two and took on a few different streets each. With our love hearts we set off to fulfil the lives of others…with the information in the leaflets
Oh My Quad
In order to get those runners legs nicely toned we did a series of lunges…from walking lunges to courtesy to a straight forward front lunge… Alistair has quite the knack for a courtesy lunge!
You Must Be Tired as You’ve Been Running Through My Mind All-Day
Task complete, we started to head back to Salt Hill Park, but only after doing some fartlek speed work along Quaves Rd…Nothing better than pushing those legs to fatigue….
Well done to everyone who came along this evening. Next week’s task is a bit more closer to home. We will be weeding the tennis courts in Salt Hill Park… so will do some lap work around the park before descending on the task
Have a great week Manjit
