This morning 6 dedicated GoodGymers met on a very icey & cold morning to do Woodhouse Moor park run. 4 of us then headed to do a local litter pick around the streets near the park. Jitheesh was very brave picking in his running shorts & top...I got cold just looking at him! We made it a brief task as it was absolutely freezing but still managed 4 bags of litter.

It was also nice to meet Helen's new greyhound Louie, he was a very good boy!

A great start to the January challenge everyone, well done :)

This is the same report as the task was split into two! https://www.goodgym.org/v3/reports/short-brief

Another attempt by me on a solo mission to clear up the local area in Seacroft.

I picked up 27 cans, 4 glass bottles, a sock & many, many packets of crisps! There we also takeaway cartons & lottery tickets in abundance. Still, after 40 minutes I barely made a dent on the still piles of litter in this one spot. This is a work in progress but one i'm determined to sort out!

Until the next time...

On Saturday, two neighbours once again tried our best to clear up the local area of litter.

We went off in separate directions so there's no pictures again, but we picked up 33 cans in total between us! There were still many many more to pick up! We'll go out again to try & pick some more.

It's a difficult job as this area is horrendous for litter but little by little we may make a difference.

Today two neighbours headed in seperate directions in Seacroft to try & clean up the area. We collected a full bag each & felt as though we barely scratched the surface of the awful litter problem in the area. There's more to be done so we'll head out again soon. Welcome to GoodGym Bronwen :)

Tonight we had a last minute change of plan as the volunteers at Bedford Fields were both sick. We decided to have a run and a litter pick instead. Helen sprung into action and planned a running route and I walked with some members down to Burley Park. We picked & chatted all the way back to Heart.

Jubz was very kind & walked Irene back to her bike, thanks Jubz! Thanks also to Helen for her organisation skills tonight! This was her 165th good deed for GoodGym Leeds...wow!

Welcome to GoodGym Fay & welcome back to Dilraj. We hope you'll join us again soon.

It's been an eventful day at GoodGym Leeds. Today, Helen and Adam generously gave up their time to head to the studio at Yorkshire Voices to do a live segment on the benefits of exercise. They did a great job explaining what we do at GoodGym, well done guys.

Tonight we met at Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre and had a 4.25Km run around Headingley. We then did a further promotional interview for Yorkshire Voices, where I accidentally talked about the benefits of the Strata app & their partnership with GoodGym. Rachael then politely told me I'd said Strata not Strava! (Strata are actually the builders I bought my house from)! Luckily, the filmmakers can edit that out & Rachael then talked about Strava the fitness app :)

The footage will be shared soon!

We finished off with a Headingley litter pick.

Well done everyone, it was a bit different today!
