A great big welcome to Emily joining us on her first Goodgym Group Run this evening as we headed to Activ Lives People's Community Garden
Before we left congratulations were given to those who ran in the Kirton Friday Five race - the second in the summer series.
Weeding Frenzy
As we arrived at the PCG we were greeted by Danny and Trevor with wheelbarrows and tools ready for a massive weeding frenzy! Danny explained that there were several large beds that need clearing of weeds.
Forks, spades and hoes were brandished and after some initial trepidation, on identifying weeds from the good stuff, everyone got stuck in clearing vegetable beds and around apple trees. Full tubs and wheel barrows were sent of to the compost area.
The PCG is a magnificent area but huge and we could only make a small dent in what must be a never ending battle to keep weeds clear.
Our run back to base incorporated some interval training along the river side and an "own pace" run along the waterfront, with some stretching to close the evening.
Next week we will be seeing Danny again but at a different venue - Find out more and sign up HERE
