Squat Goes Up Must Come Down
12 GoodGymers made their way 4.0km to help the St Luke's Church Prestonville in Brighton.

12 Goodgym folk convened on an almost balmy evening...such a change from recent outings....and we all congratulated Juliet on her 50th good deed. A shiny new black t shirt will be winging its way to her soon.
Our task was to run the 2km to St. Luke's Church on the Old Shoreham Road. After a steady climb there ,dodging the commuters on their way home,we met the Reverend Martin there who proceeded to tell us all the good work that's done from hosting the Real Junk Food Project who obtain food from supermarkets that would otherwise be discarded to feed those who need it on a pay as you can basis to hosting choirs and many other great causes.
We split into two groups...one heading to the kitchen to give it a deep clean and rearrange the cupboards..the other sorting out the furniture in the meeting room,cleaning it and sprucing up the adjoining loos.
Once done we headed off to what I found out is called the Greenway and partnered up. While one ran up a set of steps and back the other did a series of one legged squats, holding squats and holding squats with a jump and vice versa. We then headed back,carried out what is usually our uneventful stretches but tonight was interrupted by some 'yoofs' who for some reason only known to themselves decided to throw a bottle of water at us from their boy racermobile. I took one for the team as it glanced off me just above the bum!
Then it was our monthly social and we headed to The Walrus where we were intrigued to see what Amro's plant based shepherds pie would taste and look like. After initial reservations I think he was pleased with it....and off we headed into the night wishing Tara a happy holiday. Hurrah!
