TONIGHT I TOOK MY DREAM GOODGYM NEWCASTLE GROUP PHOTO
Oh also, we did an amazing group run and a task at Roycroft House for Changing Lives
Yay!
David got in a quick confession that he had chosen the England match last week over his GoodGym group run, quickly redeeming himself by saying he hadn't given into the temptation of a pint on the Quayside on his run up to Hotel Indigo and we said hello to two new runners, a Mother and Daughter duo, Sandra and Lauren. We hope you were made to feel very welcome tonight!
Now everyone knows the mark of a truly good running coach is finding great places to pose for a group photo, and tonight was a corker- a World Cup related stop off to pose by the mighty Shearer statue at St James Park. Kudos to our Sunderland supporter runners who joined in with the famous number 9's pose.
At Roycroft House, a project for vulnerable people in our city, we were split into little teams to complete the tasks of:
In one of our quickest completions ever, the jobs were done and dusted (literally) in 25 minutes!
Imagine being this awesome!
We went to Summerhill Park for lunges and a squat pulse challenge before a round of our favourite game Dishes and Domes where Rachel won my sweetie prize for comment of the night: "I'm always a dish" and indeed, she is.
Next week is our first task with Smart Works Newcastle followed by our summer social: food and drinks at the Mile Castle. Sign up to run here or just come and meet us afterwards for the festivities!
Happy running, Anji x

Suzannah Caldicott has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Suzannah is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

It takes a lot of commitment to come to GoodGym on a Monday, after work, in the Summer.
It takes a bigger commitment to come when there's an England match on the telly!
Massive kudos to everyone who came along to the Group Run tonight where it was fab to welcome new runner Suzannah to the family. Our task was a simple one, run to the Quayside, clear up a section of the Cycle path for Sustrans , complete a fitness session and run back. Run, do good, get fit and look for weird things during the litter pick.
Charlotte led #TeamInjured on a short route and everyone else took the old tried and tested route by the Arena and down to the beautiful - but windy- Quayside, crossing over to Gateshead for the first time in Newcastle GoodGym history! We were met by Sarah from Sustrans and set to work for 30 minutes of speedy volunteering
Tanya managed to find a can of Hell, Liz bagged (literally) a steak knife but Weird Item of the Night accolade went to Paul, who found ...............
A POTATO
Sprints were the order of the day for the fitness session as we charged the Quayside path learning how best to use our upper body to pump the arms for maximum speed. Paul has some awesome photos of this session which we will pop on to the Facebook page later. Everyone channeled their inner Mo Farah for the session which Kate said was one of those times you don't think you want to do something, then it feels awesome, and you just want to keep going! Maddie's sprints were legendary tonight too!
So that's it for another week of Group Runs. Sign up to next week's run here and our FIRST Community Mission on Friday for the Jo Cox Foundation Here
Happy running! Anji x
