It was almost a very wet evening for a GoodGym run but luckily the rain stopped just in time for 17 GG Yorkies to head over to Heworth Without.

Firstly, we celebrated all that amazing racing at the Yorkshire Marathon and 10 mile yesterday. No amount of racing miles or personal bests race can stop our lot as Leanne, Becky, Nick and Paul rocked up as fresh-legged as ever. Nice work team!

On arrival at Heworth Without, we were met by Dr Roger who explained our three tasks:

• Rake all grass cuttings from the wildflower onto tarps, then drag and spread them onto the tree area
• Resurrect three vandalised trees with stakes
• Pull up grass from the roots of the young trees

We only had 25 minutes on the clock and by the time we began, it was already very dark. I shone as much light around as possible with the portable floodlight but it was a big area to cover.

Raking grass is actually quite hard in the dark!

Know what else is hard in the dark? Taking good photographs!

Nick and Paul assisted Roger with the broken trees whilst over at the wildflower meadow, everyone was enjoying the peace of the evening being broken only by the sound of an owl.

There were a few squeals as the tarps were dragged across the field, I might have forgotten to warn everyone that the middle section was basically underwater. Oops.

Once the grass was spread and the tree root team had cleared space around the young trees, we squelched back across the field - dropped all the equipment back and headed off.

Our fitness session involved a HIIT pyramid with very short rest periods. It was a long 6 minutes but it would have felt a lot longer had it not been for Stef's endless motivational quips.

Pain is just a sensation and sensations are to be enjoyed - Stef
