5 Luton Goodgymers got up nice and early to support the Wardown Parkrun this week. Doing various role, from Set up to marshalling and even enjoying a Saturday morning stroll as official Park walkers. The Marshall were really encouraging and that made it a really nice event this week. Great effort team 👏

This week we had Joe return for his second session and we had Steph visiting from Ealing for is 501st!

Our Group Run took us to the Penrose Roots garden where Peter had two tasks for us, an enormous pile of wood chips that needed putting into bags and a pile of sleepers that needed sawing in half.

We split into two teams and the shovelers got shoveling while the saw team hit an early obstacle. Wet wood was making it very difficult to cut through with the saws. After a few minutes of perseverance David remembered he had the trusty pruning saws in his kit bag. They've never let us down! He gave it a try and great success, the team swapped saws and suddenly we were making progress.

We rotated around the tasks as backs got tired from shoveling and arms got tired from sawing. Circuit training GoodGym style!

By the end of the session we got the whole pile of chips packed away in bags, but we only got half the sleepers sawn, so we'll be back soon to finish off that task.
