Mary Fleming has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Mary is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

We welcomed 2 new runners to this weeks GG group run, big whoop, hola and cheers for;
Hope you both enjoyed it and will be back for more soon!
Before heading off we gave some more cheers to GORGEOUS GEORGE & SENSATIONAL STEVE who were on their 50th and 202nd good deeds respectively.
Huge congrats and high 5's!
We split into 2 groups and headed up the road to Lynwood Gardens to meet our man, the legend G-UNIT - AKA Gareth of REGATHER. Pappa G gave the first group gloves, tool, lighting and instructions to get straight to work and came back down to meet and greet our second rabble of runners who quickly donned gloves and split into groups to take on the nights tasks;
After a good 45mins of graft we regrouped, leaving the gardens in a much better state than when we arrives.
Once it was time we spread the word between the group to bring tools in and get ready to run back.
On route back we used a strategic underpass crossing for some EXCELLENT EXERCISE.
We got into pairs with one person on a wall sit with hands out straight, whilst the other did high knees and then switched. Once each person had a go we used stairs on either side of the underpass to get a quick stair set in and recover down the ramp, ready for round 2!
After a couple of rounds we continued on our route home with some loops thrown in for good measure.
BIG NEWS - WITH TONIGHTS RUN WE HAVE SURPASSED OUR #JANCHALLENGE TARGET OF 300 DEEDS - MASSIVE THANKS AND CONGRATS TO ALL WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED!
Great work everyone that came along tonight and hope you can all make next week to deliver the Age UK 'Keep Warm' leaflet to inform the local elderly what services are available to keep them warm this winter.
Until next week, happy running! :)
