27 fit and fabulous runners met at our new starting location - Vivo Sports & Gym Club, who have very kindly let us use their lockers (and for a small fee test their beer and possibly the odd muffin or two!) on Tuesdays for the foreseeable future.

We were going to head back to BBC Bristol's wildlife garden but there was a rather large problem in the way; Park Street. When we meet at the Folk House we're already halfway up precipitous Park Street but starting from the bottom and heading to the top in one go was a tall order. So we didn't run that way, we run, jogged and walked up the less intimidating but actually longer (yes!) Jacobs Wells Road. It was a hot and sweaty run due to the humidity (again it was a rain free run!) but we made it to the BBC in one piece and met up again with Jules who with effortless organisational finesse got us going on several tasks which would continue to transform a once bland and featureless strip of grass into a wonderful world of wildlife that could be used by local schools to introduce young 'uns to the amazing environment we have.

There were many many bags of woodchip to shift, a hulking great load of top soil to cart from one place to a flower bed in the making, more hedges to plant, watering, tear shape bed making (hence the name of the run!), more watering, and more digging.

The team set to work, Work occurred in swift and typical GoodGym fashion - relentless, fun, messy and full of random chat about all manner of things as well. After about 25 minutes we'd done a lot and it was time to head back - there's still more to do so I'm sure we'll return another time.

We left the wildlife garden and headed down Park Street - oddly a lot easier on the way down than the way up, and then made an unscheduled pit stop to have a group photo with one of the many Shaun the Sheep sculptures that have flocked to Bristol recently. Photos done, we got back to Vivo for a good stretch and cool down and some beer and muffin tasting may have occurred too.

Smashing work everyone, and a big welcome too to all the newer runners. Hopefully see y'all again soon!
