GG together but alone/in bubbles **UPDATED**

York Report written by Michal Czekajlo

Monday saw 28 GoodGym Yorkies descending onto streets of York (and Reading) to spread the positive energy.

Aim: to go walking, or running either by yourself, with members of your household, or one other GoodGymer and be out as much, or as little as you like.

Motivator: knowing that other GG Yorkies are out running and walking at the same time.

We visited places like the Knavesmire, Hob Moor, riverside walk, Germany Beck to name just a few.

Run/walk distances ranged from 2k to 12k.

Everyone did their own stuff, but we all had two things in common, that was exercising outdoors and sharing the positive energy with others.

Paul did a 6k run as a substitute to his gym class, Jenna ran a loop along the river, Mitchell took his friend for a 7k jog around Fulford, Helen and Amy did a 6,5k run around the city centre, Michael ran over 8k around Hob Moor, but somehow missed Paul and Leanne who were doing their 5k close by. Carl did a 5k loop around South Bank, Michal took his dog for a run along the river, Katie ran 5k with Vicky around the York Racecourse, Nicola did 2k around the block as her post-circuits cool down while her other half Richard went orienteering in Heworth to cover 9,5k.

I tried to bring the energy today. I walk the Knavesmire track daily and today was stopped by 2 dogs and an elderly man. He said he was extremely lonely and would be completely broken if he didn't have his dogs.'' - amazing Katie cheered a lonely person while on her walk. It's what GoodGym is about!

First run I've done in months... Thanks for being the inspiration I needed''- outstanding Louise ran 3k in Reading.

Wasn't going to run but fresh air helped to clear the work fug. Thanks for the motivation!''- general Debs ran over 2k around her neighbourhood.

Looking at our Facebook and WhatsApp feed you could feel a real sense of community and togetherness. We will be repeating that next week.

Bulbtastic

York Report written by Michal Czekajlo

It’s the bulbs planting season and that was precisely what the Woodthorpe York volunteers asked us to help them with.

Tonight we welcomed Amanda, our new member, who saw us working in the West Bank Park few weeks ago and couldn’t resist joining the fun. Give her a big Cheer!

Amy, from Woodthorpe York, talked us through the selection of biscuits and quality street sweeties on offer.... back to the task we were presented with couple thousand of crocuses and daffodil bulbs and had 1 hour to plant them all – an ideal GoodGym task! Fortunately the method was to lift a small section of turf with the use of a spade and throw a handful of bulbs, making sure shoots face upwards and cover it back with turf. It sounded easy and we went to make a start.

Debs, Richard, Amy, Ed, Michael and Leanne started planting around tree bases and by the play area fence, meanwhile Laura and David went to where the bigger trees were to plant the bulbs in a big 'G' pattern – we will have to come back in spring to see the results. The third group - Izzy, Barbara, Amanda, Lucy and Michal went to plant around the green perimeter closer to the shops.

Have you lost something, are you looking for a key? - passerby

One lady came to us with her child to show her how bulbs planting is done by pros. Another passer-by thought that we were searching for a lost key and offered to help, but we quickly explained to him what this walking in the dark with head torches and looking down was all about.

At 19:30 we still had couple hundred bulbs in the box, but were told not to worry as the Woodthorpe York are planning to have a stall on the green this Saturday, giving the remaining bulbs away to local people to plant in their gardens. Check out their event page on Facebook. https://fb.me/e/3Fl9FBlGm

Pleased with results of our work we treated ourselves with sweets and, as it started to rain again, few of us went for a post mission social run around Woodthorpe.

Well done Team and see you at the next task.
