Report written by Jonny Carter
11 people ran 7km to weed, tidy and do some planting for Stanhope Hall Community and Well-being Centre
Tonight, we welcomed Tom and Marlon to the GoodGym Brum crew. Thanks for coming guys and well done on your first GoodGym run. Front and back markers were sorted, I led the way, with Chan back marking, so off we went.
Once arriving at the centre the task was to do a bit of weeding and general tidying followed by planting some lettuces. Everyone mucked in weeding the soil, then Karin and Laura planted the lettuces, while some of the group carried on having a tidy up.
Chan and his big hose
Chan then to his excitement had the job of watering the garden and that was it job done! After Monica thanked us all for our help, Chan took the obligatory selfie and we were on our way.
Short fitness sess
As we had quite a long run to and from our task location tonight the fitness session was a very quick blast, just two Kenyan hill efforts. Basically, running hard up the hill, but also running hard down the hill, with the idea that you naturally recover on the down. Neal and Marlon showed great work at the front, Chloe pushed hard all the way to the top and the group of Laura, Morwenna and Karin helped each other all the way showing great determination.
Once done, we were on our way back to base. Remember next week we will be having our first GoodGym Brum 'social' after the run so please sign up here sign up here.
