I attended Bristol GoodGym and I would like to help start up GoodGym in Plymouth, since I enjoyed it so much in Bristol

Gareth Price completed 25 good deeds with GoodGym.
Gareth has already done 25 good deeds with GoodGym. Instead of doing anything else, they've used their run to go and help people that need their help; digging, lifting, scraping, clearing, planting and weeding. Stuff that makes this a better place to be.

20 amazing people met up at Vivo Gym on Tuesday to run to a small patch of ground in Bedminster that needed a GoodGym blitz!
We'd been having intermittent showers throughout the day but luckily the rain held off for our run. We gathered in a circle just outside the gym and did our usual introductions - a massive welcome to our newest runners Marie and Paul. Paul, along with ex-Bristol GoodGymer Gareth are very close to getting a Plymouth branch set up - I forsee lots of great runs with them in the future!
It was an easy run over to the gardens, where I thought it was going to be a tiny patch of ground with space for only a few people, but it transpired that there was a lot more to do, so sadly the plan of splitting in to three groups to not just garden but also run around a bit more didn't come to pass.
The gang got well and truly stuck in and cleared about 12 brown sacks of weeds (and perhaps a few non weeds snuck in there too). They also planted a few little bushes and made the unloved space a lot more attractive and ready for more plants - GOOD WORK TEAM!
Chris led a slightly longer run back for those who wanted it (most people) and I led a shorter run (but still longer than the run there) and we did a little glute strengthening work in Queen Square until we were joined by the other runners.
After a good stretch (right down to the toes!) I made what I hope was an empassioned plea for help in a few weeks with Easton Community Garden's restoration after a fire and Chris reminded people about the cycle ride on Saturday down to the community farm in Chew Magna. I forgot to mention the GoodGym Social where we've got a lot of amazing things to celebrate, so do come along to that if you can make it!
Wow, loads of links in this report - are you still with me? Hope so! Actually, that's it for now. Thanks for reading!
