This week 7 GoodGym-ers ran 2km to help a local residents group plant bulbs in the street's community garden.

After a quick warm up out front, we decided to take the long way around to extend our little run a little. Cathy was my trusty back-marker, as I lead the way to the Hannover garden.

On arrival the team took pose in a wall sit while I called Beth, before running over to meet her and collect the tools.

She treated us to some water and satsumas, which was a lovely reward for our running and digging.

The team soon got to work pulling all the weeds from the flower beds so we could plant some bulbs.

Thirty quick minutes later and the beds were cleared and the bulbs were planted. We even met some local boys who sounded like they might get involved next time.

It's a lush little project with quite a bit less people power than it once had - so we will be going back again real soon to continue helping with all the things!

When the time was up we packed our tools and returned them to their homes. There's a great little NHS carpark over the road we then used for a fun little sprinting game before heading home. The quick way.

For stretches and high fives.

Thanks team!

Can’t see the woman for the trees

This week 8 brilliant GoodGym-ers ran 2km to help out at a brand new task!

We were helping the resident's association with a community garden project. All of the weeding and pruning until the over-grown garden looked twice the size!

As always, we started with the burpee name game to warm up and make sure we all knew who was who.

We then took an extended loop to get across the road, where we met Beth to collect the tools and find out what to do.

40 minutes later and we had cleared the lot. It was time to return the tools, take a team photo and say our goodbyes.

We headed over to the doctors' surgey carpark for some sprints and burpees. Nurjehan beat Dave in a great show of speed, and Ritu doubled up with an extra sprint to make up the numbers.

We then headed back to base for stretches and a debrief. Great work, folks!
