21 fantastic GoodGymers ran 7k to Wilton Estate Community Garden to bag 3 tonnes of stones ready to be transported on Saturday.

Beginning the evening by welcoming GoodGym first timers MJ and Jennie and bigging up The Shindig! (Remember to register your interest if you fancy coming along, no matter how long you have been GoodGyming).

Heading out on the scenic 3k route to Wilton Estate, keeping it 100% social along the way! A nice distance at a nice pace got us warm and pumping the distance up for our Spring fitness goals.

Meeting Ulus from the Wilton Estate he assured us it was a tinny task that would only need 5 or 6 people. How wrong he was!! Seeing the 3 huge tonne bags of stones we got bagging!! Shovelling the stones from the big bags into the smaller bags so that they can be transported on Saturday to a different garden. The stones are redundant after our heroic mulch shifting efforts in January!!

Getting into a strong rhythm of shovelling, bagging, carrying and wheelbarrowing the stones 100 metres to the garden store cupboard. With 35 minutes of heavy lifting and shifting we had cleared 3 Tonnes of stones in 50 bags. All ready to go to there new home on Saturday!!

With a thirst for miles with so many of the squad heading towards Spring Half Marathons we split into 2 groups for the dash back to base! The first group dropping some serious pace on a 4k loop managed to catch up with the 2nd group on our 3k route back to the Bakehouse.

Great to get some nice distance in the legs at whatever pace felt good! Look forward to seeing all our has training pay off in the coming weeks!!

Mireille has got the ball rolling getting our monthly social back rolling in 2018!! So next week after the Group run we will be heading out for chat, drink, eat, be great if you joined us!!

Thanks for coming along, see you next week!

Smooth Running
