This week 10 GoodGym-ers ran 6km to help fill a planter outside a local library, so volunteers can grow edible plants
We were joined by two newbies: Charlie and Adam - give them a cheer!
We started with some warm ups in front of base, including the burpee name game and some bunny hops
Sarah was our trusty back-marker, while Dave lead the way, taking up an almost totally new route to Quernmore Road
He even took us up the biggest possible hill!
GG tourist Patrick met us at the library as he was running a bit late.
The team quickly split into teams of shovellers, tippers and sweepers.
There are a couple of great boomerangs in my instagram stories if you're interested.
Within 20 minutes we had filled the planter and made friends with a local who wanted us to help with a nearby pond!
It was soon time to run back to base. Niamh helped me navigate to Chestnuts Park for a game of Peliton (although I'm not sure that's the right name).
We then ran home, making it back to base with 30s to spare! Win!
Short run next week to the Living Under One Sun community center to clear leaves - 1km each way. See you then!
