A sudden temperature drop left us with a very cold evening for a group run this week. A hardy bunch of keen GoodGymers gathered ready to get moving and keep warm.

We didn't hang about getting our much needed warm-up started, welcoming three newbies Yelma, Nuriya and Alem who had all chosen the coldest day to try out Goodgym for the first time!

Our task this evening waited around 2km away at the Penrose Roots to Recovery garden. The whole place is looking very neat and tidy these days but there was a wildflower plot and a patch of bramble that needed cutting down to ground level and raking up into piles. Warm from our run there, we got stuck into the task to keep the energy flowing. With ten of us on the task we made quick work of clearing both areas and got a quick group photo before running off again through the cold night and keeping warm with our leg work!
