SESSION ORGANISER
Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Stanka Petrova
We gathered at the Solutions Gym and after we took the group photo we headed towards the Peppermint center . Amatare and Karim kindly run at the front while I was running in between the 2 groups making sure no one is left behind.
When we arrived at the Peppermint Center we waited for the task organizer to come and brief us about the tasks we will do. After we waited for 10-15 min and the lady organizing the task still not coming and just before the runners start humming " Should I Stay or Should I Go" we took the matter in our hands and decided to weed the peppermint allotments
Luckily a few minutes after that the caretaker of the community center came to drop off some tools. My negotiating skills came in handy here as I managed to persuade him to provide us with at least a few refuse bags to put the weeds in.
After we filled the bags we headed back to our starting point.
At the Solutions Gym we did our stretching session. Every runner showed his/her favourite stretch and told us one interesting fact about him/her. I am sure that after that stretching session we not only have nicely stretched muscles but we know more about each other.
I would like to thank for the support from all the lovely runners that came tonight and hope to see you next Tuesday:)

Thanks Stanka. Hopefully we got mainly weeds and not too many vegetables in our brave gardening attempt!
