Today we had an energizing, educational, and fun mission at the place that was once home to a legendary mama fox and her cubs.

Some of us started the day with a light jog to the allotment, catching up along the way while pacing ourselves to avoid dehydration. At Fox Den, we were greeted warmly by Lorna, who shared the story of the site and the social motivation behind this wonderful community garden.

Then came the harvest! Green, red, dark orange, small, medium, and large, the tomatoes came in all colours and sizes. Not all were ready to be picked just yet, so we got to work taming the plants, clearing walking spaces, and making life a little harder for the hungry snails.

Next, we turned our attention to potatoes, with Lorna showing us how to spot and avoid the potentially poisonous ones (a handy skill for any gardener!).

Finally, we wrapped up the mission by being spoiled with some of the produce we’d harvested. The day’s star? A courgette the size of a baby!

All in all, a lovely mission with precious people.

Two goodGymers helped out at Fulbourn Hospital Park Run today. We had a lovely morning for it, with the rain staying away and a bit of blue sky too. Well done to Caroline for doing such a great marshalling and cheering runners along. I was the volunteer coordinator for this week, so really appreciated Caroline's support. 153 brilliant runners and walkers made their valiant way around the 4-lap course.

Looking forward to the next one!

We took in all the sights on our group run this evening!

4 GoodGymers met for a friendly social run around the city, taking advantage of the quieter streets during the summer break. We started by the river, headed along The Backs, pausing for a picture with the famous King's College Chapel, and came back into town past the Mathematical Bridge. Never missing an opportunity, we even put up a few posters to spread the GoodGym word.

Good run, good sights and good company. GoodGym all round 🙌
