Another hill... Kale me now!
12 GoodGymers made their way 4.4km to help their local community in Bath.

Tonight was a toughie, with 12 runners braving the hills of Bath on a 7k run to the guerrilla garden at Donkey Lane.
Only a few runs at the weekend - well done to everyone in Riga! And well done Emily and Sam on the Two Tunnels 10k. Hopefully there'll be a full crew of trusty GoodGymers out in force for the third instalment of the Two Tunnels race series in July - it's one of the big six races for GoodGym this year! More info here.
Tonight we headed to another guerrilla garden maintained by the wonderful Transition Bath; this time at the top of Donkey Lane. With Snow Hill between us and the task there was some donkey work to be done before we made it to the top! But we pushed on to meet Sue, who had plenty for us to do.
Helen, Ant, Nicola and Alison were on weeding and clearing duty for the top path, with Sophie, Joe, Sam, Steve and Jaxx tackling the long path through the middle of the garden, some of which was hidden by the huge bush of kale! Pascale and Sam tackled some nettles, avoiding ripping up the 'walking onion' plant - worth a Google, its very strange!
With the garden transformed, Sue offered us some kale to take home with us. Without bags, we must have looked mad running back through town with our kale bouquets!
Pretty sure we should be called FoodGym Bath.
Thanks to everyone for being nice to me on my first proper attempt at leading the run this week! Thanks to Pascale for back marking and of course, the pun master himself, Joe, for this week's pun. See you next week!
