Two plogs in one week? Well, 2-3 March is Oxford's Spring Clean weekend, with litter-picks all over the city, so of course Goodgym wanted to do our bit. After a quick whizz around Harcourt Hill parkrun, 5 Goodgymers met at West Oxford Community Centre to collect litter-pickers and get plogging. Having only ever run together undercover of darkness it was quite a treat to see those smiling faces in daylight!

Running straight out to Binsey along Binsey Lane, we eyed the litter and realised the task we had in store: So many cans, crisp packets, coffee cup lids littering the roadside.

On our Wednesday plog we found boxers shorts, and we really didn't think it was possible to top that, but oh no, Oxford did not disappoint!

The pants have been trumped by a truly spectacular find by Fiona - a theatre light! We also found a dinner knife, 1 shoe (how do you only lose 1?!), bike locks, a rather fetching pair of fingerless gloves, a dog lead, and a toilet-brush holder. But our favourite finds were the golf balls.

SO. MANY. GOLF. BALLS.

In the spirit of avoiding single-use plastic we collected them up and returned them to the Oxford Golf Centre rather than binning them, and in the process realised that Bethan is in fact the modern-day Mary Poppins, with bottomless pockets.

Returning to WOCA to drop off our 5 tonnes of litter (well, it felt like that!), we made the most of the sunshine with a few kilometres of running along the river. An excellent morning!
