A HUGE GGSHEFF welcome to Jonathan Collett for attending his first run, hope you enjoyed it and will be back for more Jono!

This week saw us heading back over to Heeley People's Park to help them prep for a FREE pay as you feel event taking place in the park on Thurs; 'Much Ado About Nothing' performed by The Handlebards, a traveling (by bicycle) group of performers. The event will take place in the park on Thursday 15th August at 1830.

On arrival we were greeted and quickly split into 2 teams;

1 - Cutting back and filling tonne bags to ensure the stage was set for Thursday and views could be maximized! 2 - Weeding and raking and filling tonne bags to spruce up the park and make it look it's best for the Shakespearean festivities.

Following a good session we took advantage of the Arena area and used the step for some FANTASTIC FITNESS which this week involved:

1 - Knee raises 2 - Leg raises 3 - Press ups 4 - Tri dips 5 - Step ups

From there we ran up through the park which was looking lovely and took an alt route home which took in some stir sets, sprints and hill repeats for those who were game.

After stretching off and hearing what people have been up to on the latest missions and community missions we headed inside for chat and liquid refreshment.

Until next time, happy running!
