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.

Last night we split into two groups to go on our quarterly leafletting run for Older Wiser Local Seniors.

We headed to Burley, Kirkstall & Headingley to ensure their service users know what's coming up over the next 3 months.

OWLS provide a wide range of activities to help local seniors remain fit, healthy and independent. Whether it’s a trip to their allotment, a day out shopping, or an exercise class; they have all sorts going on.

All of the activities and services that they arrange are tailored to help older people meet other people, learn new skills, and have fun together.

Katie came back to see us from Sheffield, so that was a good enough excuse for us all to head to the pub after our run.

Thanks to Helen & Bryony for leading a group each. Congratulations to Katie Lees on her 150th good deed, that's an amazing achievement & to Jason on his 30th.

Well done team!

It was great to get the gang back together tonight! 11 GoodGymers ran 2.5K to the Community Street at Quarry Place to continue with a variety of tasks.

We got a good workout in, moving several heavy planters down the street and into the van. We also continued to build the planter in the bin store, we lined and moved some other planters and then the remaining few of us finished off with some litter picking, filling 3 bags full of rubbish! Jason got to play with a drill again which we all know he enjoys and Fay was a trooper picking litter in a whole street by herself.

I had to laugh at Kat who thought the January challenge was for a whole year, so her target might be slightly unachievable in one month... you have 15 days left Kat, so you might need to run all day, every day to make that target!

What a productive evening! We then ran another 2.5K back to Heart. Thanks to Helen for leading another great run.
