On the hottest day of the year so far Louise was happy for accompany me on my 1st Team Lead role. We met at St Mary’s Gates of Greenwich park where we proceeded to jog to each of the 7 benches along the Herbaceous border stopping to complete a set of squats, press ups, left/right lunges, tricep dips, more press ups and finishing with a final set of squats.

We then slowly jogged to Christchurch School Community Gardens where Patrick admitted that the gardens had started to take over and asked if we could clear some of the over growth which was starting to cause a problem to those walking along the pavement. We got to work cutting back this growth but would have liked some help from our vertically challenged friends, but not too be so we did the best we could and ended up filling 4 wheelbarrows full. Before we knew it we had almost completed an hour and very much in need of a rest and some more hydration.

A very enjoyable morning which we hope will become a regular outing for anybody who wants to split their day with some exercise & volunteering.
