That Stung!

Wednesday 4th September

Written by Jonny Carter

Tonight Jonny and Chloe delivered the rest of last months leaflets for Guide Dogs UK.

We set off in Boldmere, getting plenty of exercise due to copious long drive ways.

Though after not long Jonny got a nasty sting on his leg from a rather angry wasp, it certainly left a nasty bit of swelling! Oh well, I carried on regardless.

By the end of the task we had delivered a good 200 leaflets.

Unfortunately Chloe had a bit of an achilles injury, but certainly got plenty of exercise with all the walking. Once done Jonny ran home doing a little loop covering a nice 5.2k.

We are back in Sutton Coldfield this Saturday morning were we'll be helping out at Hill Hook Nature Reserve. Then they'll be another Sutton Coldfield group run/walk next month :)

Helping Some Paws Set The Pace!

Wednesday 14th August

Written by Jonny Carter

Tonight GoodGym Birmingham was back in Sutton Coldfield as we were joined by Chloe on her first GG session.

The task was to deliver some leaflets for Guide Dogs UK in the local area. We managed to deliver 2 big bundles of leaflets in the Boldmere area, which already gave us a bit of a workout with the length of the drives we constantly had to walk up!

Once done we headed out on a run into the splendid Sutton Park on a glorious sunny evening. We covered a nice hilly 5k in total, before arriving back at out base, The Harvester pub car park.

A fantastic evening of volunteering and fitness :)
