21 Goodgymers ran 4-5k to help Holloway School prepare the roofgarden for horticultural activities
Welcome to the newbies - Savannah, Caz and Chloe - great to have you along!!
In the news:
After warming up we headed through the backstreets to Holloway Road, where we encountered tons of red traffic lights, which meant squats and star jumps while we waited!
Back to School!
Arriving at Holloway School we met Jonathan - we ran through the school halls (naughty) and made it up the stairs to the roofgarden. Jonathan explained that our task for the evening was to clear, weed and prepare an area so the kids can get involved in lots of horniculture activities. Splitting into teams we got were tasked with the following:
Around 12 bushes were taken down to the playground in bags, a job that involved lots of stairs climbing! After 30 minutes we finished the tasks at hand with some sweeping and then a group photo under Aspire, Achieve, Success sign.
On the way home we went back the long way and did a fartlek around the Emirates!
Sign up here for next week, we'll be helping Single Homeless Project and Thornhill Square Gardens.
