Helen took us on an adventurous run on the way back from Beckhill Community Garden last night. If I tell the story, we were chased by two horses into a prickly bush. If Helen tells it, two horses came towards us out of curiosity and I was over dramatic. I like my version better :)
The Wednesday gang headed up to Stainbeck United Reformed Church to clear their paths & litter pick in preparation for their Garden Action Day for kids on half term. The minister is particularly pleased with the drains that Jason was determined to clear. It was nice to go somewhere different and the run on the way back was certainly an adventure! Lydia had just washed her trainers...always a mistake before one of Helen's runs!
Welcome to Ebun on her first task, we hope to see you again soon. Thanks to Helen for another great run.

On a very cold, wet Wednesday evening, the GoodGym crew ran from Heart up to Woodhouse Community Centre. We were tasked with dismantling some raised beds & moving soil & leaves from one bed to another. Shannen and I even managed to do a little litter picking.
It was freezing cold but we got a lot done between us all and it was nice to do something at a different location.
Well done to Helen for leading the run after doing 10 miles today plus a yoga class...you're a legend!
Katie told us about her very exciting trip to the Palace last Wednesday, where she was hobnobbing with the King! How exciting!
Welcome back to Elspeth who joined us for her second session, we hope to see you again soon.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
