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!
