Twelve terrific GoodGymmers ran to dell fields care home to tidy the garden for local residents.

Meeting at the Phoenix, we discussed the beautiful weather and how much it has lifted our moods! It really was a gorgeous day.

We set off to dell fields with Jody back marking. It's a 3km run each way and the team managed it in a nice fast time - 19 mins including the hills and road crossings.

Reaching the care home, we discovered that we had not been left and tools or instructions for the garden. That didn't put us off though - we got stuck into weeding the flower beds in the garden to keep them looking nice. Varnishing the outdoor furniture can wait until next time! After 25 minutes we had cleared a big pile of weeds. We put it in the compost and headed off.

We went back via Victoria Park for a quick fitness session: out and back runs varying our pace, jumping Jacks, squats and some pocket to socket practice. We then set off home with a spring in our step and set another fast pace. We stopped 300m from base for a nice fast finish with the team continuing to be very speedy today. Must be all that sunshine ☀

We stretched then tucked into this week's biscuits: fox's chocolate rings courtesy of fay. Thanks Fay! And get well soon. Next week we have a shorter run to Stephen's House to assist in the garden. See you there
