Jurassic Task: T-Rex-treme gardening

Tuesday 18th March

Written by Darren

7 Goodgym runners ran across Cardiff to help the Salvation Army in their garden. It was a nice bit of T-Rexercise.

This was the second time we have visited to prep the garden ready for planing. Michael got the tools from the shed and it was time to 'Get it on'. Gardening tools that is, no need for the 'Dino-saw' today!

We cleared down the weeds and dead plants from several planters. We also got rid of the rogue ivy from near the shed. Then we discussed some gardening feng-shui and we moved around the pots and long planters to make better use of the space - check the pics.

Rather than 'ride a white swan' we decided to run back with some T-Rex tunes playing on Michael's speaker, content we had left the garden and the planters ready for ready for the residents to start designing and planting in the coming weeks. I'm sure whatever they create will look T-Rexquisite.

GoodGym 1 – Leaves 0

Tuesday 4th February

Written by Michael

Tonight the gallant goodgymers were out for the WIN, cyclists, walkers and runners came together like some sort of Bolt-on Wanderers, ready to take on the mighty task. Leaving Cardiff City to take on a new challenge. Tonight was all about helping at the young persons homeless hostel, cleaning the back space and games pitch. This was our first time "playing" at Hostel Villa, but armed with our Arsenal of tools we went around to the "Notareal Forest" to start our battle against the fallen leaves of Mulchester City.

There were nods to the history of football as we saw the revival of sweepers tonight....and didn't they do WELL alongside the wonders of the wheelBARROW transfers. The leaves piled up defeated, and the grounds resembled a NEWcastle united by the goodgymers.

After a well deserved winning photo, the team took to the streets to celebrate the win and get a Tot-in-em after a hot-spur run.
