Week 2 for the Goodgym Stockport crew and the energy was just as high.

Tonight 7 Goodgymers ran 3km around in loops, up and down, around and round, fast and slow! And it was a last minute change due to mix up of dates, we were surpose to be running to to help Dorothy at the Heaton Mersey collective, but she had booked to go to the cinema, nevermind , we had our woolly master plan back up, in a few weeks we are planning to run to Stepping Hill hospitals neo natal unit to pass on our knitted and crocheted wears so we had plenty to get our hooks into, and we are now planning on running to see Dorothy at the Heaton Mersey collective next week, and hopefully she can tell us which film she watched and if it was any good?!

Tonight our wool game was upped, this was our 3rd attempt at crocheting blankets, and I was like a proud mother as I watched people teach each other, and the blankets are getting bigger and mine and others patience is getting stronger, it must be all the hills and speed work we did? Which was also impressive, some of the hill work was impressivlely fast, ranging from 13-29 seconds! wow guys, it was also great to see everyone work consistantly on the hills and flat, everyone together, chatting and running, really lovely to see our community.

A huge well done to Kirsty who had taken her blanket home and had done a fair bit extra, and well done to Pete for keeping cool until he got the hang of it, he is now the groups crochet leader, any advice needed just give him a shout.

Tonight it was fab to see Pauline over from liverpool, I say this everytime but we will come visit you soon! promise..... It was also fab to see regulars back on form, and great that Rob made a return after his first week.

Thanks everyone for working so hard in the running sessions and at making the blankets, I am sure the neo natal unit will be really pleased with our progress, and our unique style.

Take a look at the website for our additional run this month, we will be running Parkrun on Sat 25th of January at Vernon/Woodbank park, and afterwards we will be doing a little tidy up and then staying on for a coffee in the cafe if anyone wants to join us??

Have a great week running folks,
