This week for our group run we ran up the hill through High Town to our task on Hitchin road where community clean-up coordinator Kevin from ABCD Luton and some local residents had already got started.

A couple of road-side areas were overgrown with shrubs and weeds and needed cutting back and tidying up. On arrival our team were tooled up with shears, saws, loppers and brushes and set to cutting back and clearing up.

With our large team we managed to clean up a huge stretch of road and filled an amazing five big bags of cuttings which needed dragging up the hill to the point that the council was booked to collect from.

Before retreating back down the hill we took a few minutes to do a few rounds of walking lunges, crunches and squats in the park to round off an energetic evening.

This week a rainbow shone over our warm-up and the ascent up the hill to our task for the evening.

We were heading to the gravel sign that welcomes drivers from the M1 into Luton where some patchy weeds needed clearing. We also took some time to rearrange the black and white pebblrs to restore some clarity to the letters which were suffering from some blurred lines!

When the task was completed we headed over to Stockwood Park for a blast through some sprint intervals to build some power in our legs before heading back down to our finish point back in the Hat District.

The Active People Fair in St George's Square was a gathering of many organisations whose aim is to keep people active and healthy, so a natural place for GoodGym to be.

We met many members of the public, spread the good word about GoodGym, met several partner organisations we've done tasks with already, and a few new leads for new tasks.

This week we returned to a community garden on Bristol Road that we helped set up a while back. Since then a small group of people, including Gareth and Kev who met us there have been trying to keep control of the space but the brambles and weeds that used to be there were making a comeback!

Our team arrived on bikes and by running and walking to all pitch in and reclaim the ground from the weeds. 40 minutes later we'd make a bit pile of green waste.

We also topped up some of the raised beds with topsoil that needed shoveling into a barrow and moved down from the entrance.

Firstly, I would like to thank Good Gym for giving me this wonderful opportunity. As is usual from the Good Gym staff, we completed the mission successfully. We arrived on time (Abdo, Musa, and Ali). We carried out all our tasks in the best condition. We helped support the community jobs fair at Future House in March Farm. From my point of view, I can say that it was such a good experience for me, and I could see that all the visitors and coordinators were happy with our services. I'm really very grateful and so satisfied. Well done, Good Gym team.

Four of us supported the council by going door to door to speak to the residents of Farley Hill about the Radio 1 Big Weekend. We checked if they had received the details about the road closures and tried to answer any queries they had. It was a tough one as there were some very unhappy residents but we also had some lovely chats with others.
