GG ON 3!

After welcoming our new runners we went for the B-Ball hands in with a good @GGSHEFF shout out on 3 and headed off across the main streets of Sheffield to meet EXCELLENT EMILY from CATHEDRAL ARCHER PROJECT for our task brief.

Our task this week was all about sorting clothes which were kindly donated and will be gifted to those in need in the city on the cold Sheffield streets this winter, a great cause that we are all glad we can help with.

We split into small teams and set to sorting the clothes into piles of women's, men's, shoes, accessories etc. It was a HUGE pile we were faced with with some commenting > I don't know whether to in-vest in these pants or sock the whole thing off... But with everyone clubbing together and mucking in we were a SHOE IN TO WIN.

As we were sorting through, everyone was keeping an eye out for their fave item which for our final group photo. There were some very interesting items and choices including a sexy little number modeled by NEGLIGEE NEEDHAM and some items that were just plain puzzling...

'Is this for a dog?' (Super Steve)

Once all the piles were in some form of order we got together with our choice pieces and had a group photo resembling somewhat of a MAD HATTERS GG PARTY before squating to the tunes of Police's 'ROXANNE' to get our legs warmed up for the outside and the exercise to come. After thanks from Emily we headed up the cobbled Cathedral path to the front of the Cathedral where we got stuck into some CIRCULAR CIRCUITS...

CIRCIULAR CATHEDRAL CIRCUITS

This weeks exercise was done in the beautiful backdrop of Sheffield Cathedral where we did a circuit with circular laps in between each exercise of 10 reps. We smashed out;

• Lunges
• Squats
• Star Jumps
• Split Lunges
• Squat 180's
• Mountain Climber's
• Curtsy Lunge's
• Sumo Squats
• Goblet Squats

On route back we ran passed some beautiful spots of Sheffield including the Crucible & Winter Gardens and took advantage of the Hallam uni stairs to do a quick stair sprint!

On arrival back at base we stretched off and heard updates inc:

• January Challenge Update
• Barnsley Tues group run
• Sheffield starter session
• Thanks to Steve & Chris - TASK FORCE supreme members for organising Park run volunteering and litter picking over the weekend

All details of the above on the GG website. Check em out and get signed up!

Also BIG UP to SENSATIONAL SUZE for smashing her 50th good deed! Congrats Suze, be prepared for wonder and awe when you next rock up in your black 50 good deed Tee!

Thanks to everyone for coming along. Hopefully see you all on our next run soon!
